Wirral Council has moved to implement the Government’s new social care reforms that the local authority said would make end-of-life care less expensive and more accessible.
Jason Oxley, Assistant Director Health & Care Outcomes, said people “will not have to sell their family home to meet their care costs” under the new reforms.
He said new caps meant people “shouldn't pay more than £86,000 towards their care during their lifetime” and will “protect people from devastating, unlimited care costs.”
