Local authority
Ferndale sits within West Sussex
Ferndale is in Crawley, which falls under West Sussex County Council. They are the local authority responsible for adult social care in our area, so any council funding starts with them.
If you think you may be entitled to local authority funding, West Sussex County Council arranges the care needs assessment and the financial assessment that decide what support you can receive. All funding questions and applications need to go through them.
