For people who go to live in a care home which provides nursing care, the NHS contribution from April 2019 is set at a single rate of £165.56 per week.
However, a person placed prior to 1 October 2007 who was in receipt of a higher band nursing payment will continue to receive higher rate funding from 1 April 2017 of £213.32 per week.
These amounts are reviewed each year, usually at the beginning of April.
People with financial resources in excess of £23,250 will also be eligible for a determination and receive a contribution from the NHS towards the cost of their care.
