Care Charges and Benefits

In order to ensure that Adult Social Care Services are available to everyone who needs support in Reading we ask people to contribute towards the cost of their care/support services.

If you are eligible for help from Adult Social Care services we will assess your financial situation to see how much you will have to pay, if anything, towards the cost of your care. We also offer information and advice on any welfare benefits you may be entitled to and help you to apply if you would like us to.
