Understanding dementia care provider costs in the UK

Dementia can often be complex and involve symptoms that need tailored support, meaning the cost of care providers for dementia are often at a premium. On average, the cost of dementia care is 15% higher than standard social care – with some being up to 40% more expensive.

Local Authority funding for care providers

You may qualify for full or partial funding towards the cost of a care provider from your Local Authority, depending on your location in the UK, income, capital and savings.

Investment bonds and care costs

Investment bonds can be used to pay for care, but before you make your decision on whether to purchase an investment bond, speak with a financial adviser.
