Norfolk had about 916,200 residents at the 2021 Census, up 6.8% since 2011. It also has the 15th-largest older population in England. Council projections put the rise in people over 65 at 36% between 2020 and 2040, mostly among people over 75. Families are often arranging care for a parent in Norwich, King’s Lynn or Great Yarmouth, or in a village well away from the nearest town. Live-in care puts one carer in the home, so a parent keeps their own routines, their own street and their own GP.

Hospital discharge and NHS support

Most hospital care in Norfolk is provided by Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the James Paget University Hospitals Trust in Gorleston and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn. Local NHS planning sits with NHS Norfolk and Suffolk Integrated Care Board. Norfolk County Council’s Norfolk First Response service works with health partners at all three hospitals. Its Norfolk First Support team offers reablement at home for up to six weeks. If longer-term support is likely, Hometouch’s clinical team can review your family member’s needs and plan live-in care around the date they leave hospital, subject to carer availability.

Paying for live-in care in Norfolk

In Norfolk, people with more than £23,250 in savings and capital are classed as self-funders and pay the full cost of their care. Savings between £14,250 and £23,250 may mean a contribution. The council asks people to get in touch once their savings fall below £40,000, so it can prepare. It can help self-funders find and arrange care, but charges a fee on top of the care costs. It also recommends independent financial advice from an adviser who understands care funding, and points families to MoneyHelper to find one.
