Many people seek advice on how their family home and any other savings and investments can be protected if they become unable to care for themselves in their own homes and require either a package of care at home or need to move into a residential or nursing home on a temporary or permanent basis.<\/p>\n<p>Proposals to change care fees announced in the national press will only affect England, since health and social care varies across the UK. So what\u2019s the position in Northern Ireland?<\/p>\n<h2>What are the rules around care costs?<\/h2>\n<p>The rules around care fees are complex. Broadly speaking, care provided in a person\u2019s own home is not currently charged for but residential and nursing care is subject to a formal \u2018means assessment\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Put simply, if an individual has capital over \u00a323,250 then they may be liable to pay for their care, although a limited number of exemptions do apply. For example, the main home would be disregarded if occupied by a spouse or one of a number of other relatives mentioned in the applicable regulations.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that, following a Judicial Review case and subsequent appeal to the Northern Ireland Court of Appeal in 2025, there is now some much-needed clarity on what is known as \u2018Continuing Healthcare\u2019 in this jurisdiction. Put simply, where a person is receiving nursing care anywhere other than in a hospital, this will normally be subjected to a means assessment by a Health &amp; Social Care Trust and charged for accordingly. The position in England &amp; Wales is very different as the relevant test there is whether a person has a \u2018primary healthcare need\u2019. Unfortunately that concept has no applicability in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n<h2>How does the means assessment work in Northern Ireland?<\/h2>\n<p>The rules governing the means test procedure are contained in the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health-ni.gov.uk\/publications\/guidance-charging-residential-accommodation\">\u2018Charging for Residential Accommodation Guide\u2019<\/a>. A resident will be required to give full details of their income and capital as part of the means test. However, it should be noted that there is no power for a Health &amp; Social Care Trust to assess the financial resources of a person\u2019s spouse or any other third party in calculating their liability to pay for their own care.<\/p>\n<h2>Get advice on care fees<\/h2>\n<p>Anyone facing a possible liability to pay care fees should always take advice from a <a href=\"https:\/\/advisingfamilies.org\/uk\/find-a-tep\/\">qualified professional<\/a> before completing any formal means assessment or dealing directly with the Health &amp; Social Care Trusts over their finances. It is important to be familiar with the rules, especially those relating to the various exemptions that apply, before submitting any financial information.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.step.org\/advising-families\/directory\/members\/mr-michael-graham-0038000000ginemaa2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Michael Graham TEP is Head of the Private Client Department at Cleaver Fulton Rankin, Belfast, Northern Ireland<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/advisingfamilies.org\/uk\/information-portal\/planning-ahead\/coping-with-care-costs-northern-ireland\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Coping with care costs \u2013 Northern Ireland&url=https:\/\/advisingfamilies.org\/uk\/information-portal\/planning-ahead\/coping-with-care-costs-northern-ireland\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last updated: May 2026 Three-minute read Like many people, you may be concerned about the potential impact of care costs on your finances and your children\u2019s eventual inheritance.
