    Statement Upheld Charging 10-Mar-2025

She says the Council also over charged Mrs X for residential care. The Council failed to follow up on Mrs X’s domiciliary care assessment and follow the proper process to charge a top up on Mrs X’s residential care costs. The Council has offered a suitable payment for Mrs X’s domiciliary care. It should apologise and make a payment to Mrs Y for the uncertainty caused.
