  • Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (25 001 997)

    Statement Upheld Assessment and care plan 11-Nov-2025

    Summary: There was no fault by the Council in placing the late Mr X in a care home and charging him for it. He had mental capacity to decide on his care and living arrangements. He was not deprived of his liberty and the Council offered assistance with a funding application for a grant for repairs to the home. There was a failure to give Mr X information about the charging framework for social care and support, this was fault, but it did not cause significant injustice because a family member was told basic information about financial assessments.
