54: Funder’s liability for cost of LTR contracted care of exempt person

"Who pays for your care when you're exempt and in long-term residential care?"

Illustration for Residential Care and Disability Support Services Act 2018

When you get care that is contracted by the Long-Term Residential Care (LTR) and you are an exempt person, the funder has to pay for some of the cost. The amount the funder pays is calculated using a formula. The formula is: p = c - (b - a), where p is the amount the funder pays, c is the cost of the care, b is the amount of any benefit you get, and a is your personal allowance, which is defined in section 24(2). You can find more information about this by looking at the Residential Care and Disability Support Services Act 2018 and other related laws. The funder's liability is based on this formula, so they pay the amount that is calculated.
