Aberdeen City Health and Social care partnership aim to help people live at home independently and safely. To enable this to continue and to provide services to people with a range of different social care needs a non-residential charging policy has been developed.

The policy was approved by Aberdeen City Council’s Finance and Resources Committee on 07/08/2024.
