A bit more detail:
Local authorities contribute to care home costs once a care home resident's money falls below £23,250. When it falls below £14,250 it's no longer included in the means test (i.e. the resident can keep it). The care home fees are then paid for through from part of the resident's income, topped up by the local authority.
