Self-funders seeking help and information about moving into care are neglected by the system. Older people thinking of moving into residential care are often shocked by the complexity of care needs assessment and entitlements that faces them when they first make an attempt to negotiate their way through the social care system. This report explores the experiences of people who have to meet the costs of care themselves (self-funders) when they seek help from their local authority and sets out the legal position as to what they have a right to expect.
