Paying for day care

- Local authority funding. If a needs assessment and a financial assessment by the London Borough of Havering show that support is due, the council contributes towards the placement.
- NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC). Where the primary need is a health need, the NHS may fund the full cost of care.
- NHS-Funded Nursing Care (FNC). A flat NHS contribution towards the nursing element for residents assessed as needing registered nursing input.
- Self-funding. Families arranging and paying privately, which is the quickest route where a placement is needed at short notice.
