If you do not meet the eligibility criteria for care and support or means-tested support you are a self-funder. This means that you are responsible for paying the full cost of your care.

Direct payments allow you to choose how your care and support is organised.

Personal budgets enable you to choose who you want to provide your care and support and organise it yourself.

Solihull social care services provide care and support to those who need it. People that are not entitled to care and support from Solihull Council social care will need to pay the full cost or make a contribution to the cost of their care.

A financial assessment can help us to understand if you can pay towards the cost of your care and support.

When a person makes a power of attorney they appoint another person or people to make decisions and act on their behalf.

If another person speaks on your behalf they are commonly known as an advocate.

Care and support assessments are conducted according to a set of national eligibility criteria.

After your needs have been assessed we'll provide you with a care and support plan.

A reablement assessment can help you stay independent, learn new skills and recover from illness or a stay in hospital.

If you are caring for someone else aged 18 or over on a regular basis, without being paid for it, you can request a carer’s assessment.
