My husband is going into a care home for respite tomorrow, Lovely home where we would like him to stay long term. We were recommended this home by LA as we are not self funding. Can anyone explain how residential care is financially assessed ? I know they take all of State Pension and 50% of occupational pension. Bit lost beyond that any clarification would be much appreciated

This link should help. You are right about the pensions and the LA pay the rest.

The downside may come if the home you want does not accept LA funding or costs
more that the LA are willing to pay but it doesn’t sound like this should be an issue .
