If you are an elderly victim of crime, the funder has to pay the full cost of your Long-Term Residential (LTR) care. This means you do not have to pay for your LTR care yourself. The funder is responsible for covering the entire cost of your care, as stated in the law, which you can find more information about by looking at the relevant legislation.
