The Care Act 2014
From April 2015, care and support in England is changing for the better. The Care Act will help to make care and support more consistent across the country.
One part of the Care Act is a “cap on care costs”, a way of limiting how much people have to pay towards their care costs during their lifetime. This was due to start in April 2016, but the government has now said that this part of the Care Act will be postponed until 2020.
You can read more about how the care cap is expected to work on the Changes to Care Costs tab. Though please note the details of this may change before 2020.
