There are charges for most social care services, though in most cases we assess each person's financial situation to decide what they can afford to pay.

Click here to download printable information sheets explaining our current charges.

These charges are set by Northumberland County Council, and administered by Northumberland Care Trust.

If you have questions about your charges which are not answered below or in the information sheets, and if your care manager cannot help you, please contact our Charges Helpline on (01670) 622891, or write to:
