Thinking of moving to Wales, will I be eligible for a package of care?

Hello,

I currently live in England and have for my entire life (I was born in England). I live with my parents and, because of their help, do not need a package of care from Social Services. When I move, I will need care (as I had when I went to university).

I am very familiar with the English processes.

If I were to move to Wales, would I be eligible (assuming I met the assessment threshold) for a package of care as an English person? Would I need to have connection or have lived there for a certain amount of time first?

I am in the incredibly early stages of thinking about this but wanted to check before I got too excited about the idea.

Thank you,

Rachael

Hi @ReD94, I'm not too familiar with Welsh services myself I'm afraid, but I'll tag @SaraC_Scope from our CP team in case she can help.

Do you have an idea of the area of Wales you'd like to move to?

Hopefully one of our members has been through a similar experience and can share how it worked for them. It sounds like an exciting prospect anyway, fingers crossed you can get things sorted and make the move! ☺️
