Managed Account

If you are unable to or don't wish to manage your care money, we can do this on your behalf. This is called a 'Managed Account'.

The money from your care package (e.g. your direct payment and personal contribution) is received by Penderels Trust.  We will arrange to pay all the agreed bills for your care (such as your staff wages or care agency invoices) from the money we hold on your behalf.  You will still have responsibility for all your own personal money.

As well as making sure your bills are paid on time, we will check what money is going into and going out of the account to ensure you do not get overdrawn.  We will also let you (or your nominated person) know if anything unusual happens on your account e.g. unexpected invoices or an increase in hours stated on a timesheet.

This service is delivered by a Finance Officer (Managed Accounts) in your local office.  We offer a number of options within this service so you only pay for what you need.
