3.	LOCAL AUTHORITY RESIDENTIAL CARE STANDARD CHARGE FOR 2018-2019 PDF 158 KB Minutes: The Executive Board Member considered a report on Local Authority residential care standard charge for 2018/19. The Group Accountant advised that Adults in residential accommodation were required to contribute to the cost of their care. Where they had sufficient resources they were required to pay the full cost of their accommodation, known as the Standard Charge which was calculated annually based on the full cost to the authority of providing the accommodation. It was outlined that the overall budgeted costs for running the Authority’s residential homes together with the number of beds available and the occupancy levels were the determining factors in calculating the annual Standard Charge. For 2018/19 there had been no change in the number of Local Authority beds. Whilst staffing costs had increased these had been partly offset by a reduction in running expenses. As a result the charge for mainstream beds would increase by 0.17% and EMI beds by 1.11%. RESOLVED: 3.1 that the standard charge for Local Authority older people residential care homes be increased from £585.99 to £587.02 for mainstream beds and from £791.48 to £800.30 for EMI beds; 3.2 that for residents placed by this authority into our own Local Authority Homes the effective date for the new rates is 2^nd July 2018. For those residents placed in our homes by other Local Authorities the effective date for the new charges to those authorities is 9^th April 2018.
