Plain English definition
of
Top-up fee
from
Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster
The additional amount that someone will have to pay for you if you choose to live in a care home that costs more than is in the council's budget. The key aspect is that this is your choice: a top-up fee should only be charged if you have requested a more expensive care home, not because the council is unwilling to pay what a care home costs.
