There is some information below taken from the .gov website on the care act 2014 to help you.
The Care Act 2014 and having an assessment of your support needs.
This factsheet describes how the Care Act and supporting guidance place a series of new duties and responsibilities on local authorities about care and support for adults.
What role do local authorities play in care and support?
Under the Care Act, local authorities have new functions. This is to make sure that people who live in their areas:
receive services that prevent their care needs from becoming more serious, or delay the impact of their needs
can get the information and advice they need to make good decisions about care and support
have a range of provision of high quality, appropriate services to choose from
When must the local authority meet a person’s care and support needs?
The Act sets out a new legal duty for an adult’s ‘eligible needs’ to be met by the local authority, subject to their financial circumstances. Their eligible needs are those that are determined after the assessment.
The Act says clearly that a person will be entitled to have their needs met when:
the adult has ‘eligible’ needs
the adult is ‘ordinarily resident’ in the local area (which means their established home is there)
any of 5 situations apply to them
These are the 5 situations:
the type of care and support they need is provided free of charge
the person cannot afford to pay the full cost of their care and support
the person asks the local authority to meet their needs
the person does not have mental capacity, and has no one else to arrange care for them
when the cap on care costs comes into force, their total care and support costs have exceeded the cap.
The Act gives local authorities have a duty to carry out a needs assessment in order to determine whether an adult has needs for care and support.
