AnnotationMethods of charging for domiciliary, residential and nursing care services will change radically from 2003. This article looks at planned changes in charging service users for services to help them remain in their own homes. It considers proposals to minimise variations between local authorities' charging policies for domiciliary care in the consultation draft guidance "Fairer charging policies for home care and other non-residential social services". What constitutes "reasonable" charges depends on how an individual's income and savings are treated, and on whether charges are made for "Supporting People" services. The NHS Plan introduced the concept of "Intermediate care", another means of supporting people at home: how will this be distinguished from other charged for provision? (RH).
