Funding Nursing Care can be a costly business, however, very few are aware of the significant non-means tested help that is available. All residents are at present entitled to:

Registered Nursing Care Contribution (RNCC) (formerly known as “Free Nursing Care") which is £103 per week if a resident has nursing needs.
Attendance Allowance which is either £43.15 or £64.50 per week depending on whether a resident requires help either during the day or night (lower rate) or both during the day and night (higher rate).
Single person's State Pension which is £90.70 per week
