i think it depends on your incoome as to how much you pay but some info here http://www.ageuk.org.uk/home-and-care/help-at-home/paying-for-care-and-support-at-home/
*income
if your relatives needs fall within local authority (council) bands for needs, he can have a financial assessment to see what his contribution will be. If his needs are lower, he's on his own
go via GP and social services...the hospital will not normally discharge without a care plan in place so they might also help with provision or at least arranging to get the ball rolling
Surley the hospital wont discharge him without a safe package of care?

Physio & Occupational therapy should assess his needs and take it from
There.

I live in scotland ... Its free for my patients? Unsure about anywherelse xx
