Discounts for Patients in Nursing or Care Home

People living in residential care homes, nursing homes, mental nursing homes and hostels providing a high level of care are disregarded for Council Tax purposes, as long as it is their only or main home.

if you are moving directly and permanently to a Care Home from a period in hospital, you may be entitled to a further reduction of council tax from the date of your hospital admission. For more information, please see our Patients in Hospital page
