If you have less than £23,250 in savings, you may get some or all of your adult social care costs covered. A financial assessment will determine any financial support you are eligible for.
Community Micro-Enterprises (CM-Es) are small local businesses, typically with 8 or fewer full-time employees or volunteers, offering community-based care and support services. They support residents to keep well, remain independent and stay connected to their local community.
We are working in partnership with Croydon Almshouses, supported by Community Catalysts, to deliver the CM-EP. We are developing a market and an accessible directory to increase choice and control for residents.
The aim of the project is to provide the means for residents to use innovative and creative ways to maintain a good quality of life. For those receiving direct payments from the Council, this will increase the range of opportunities to meet their needs, outlined in their care and support plan.
CM-Es provide residents with choice and control in how they receive care and support, enabling them to access:
Examples of CM-E services include:
Any resident can access a CM-E. You can pay for services yourself, through your Direct Payment, or your personal health budget.
For more information visit Paying for adult social care or contact your social worker.
When using a CM-E, you will not be an employer or have employer responsibilities. You will pay the provider directly for a service based on mutually agreed terms, conditions and fees.
For more information on how to find a local CM-E visit Small Good Stuff.
If you would like to start a CM-E, you can register your interest online or email croydon.microenterprises@croydonalmshouses.org.uk.
