Are You Paying for Care?

You may be eligible for free funding through the NHS

This is called Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

What is NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is the name given when the NHS fully funds a care package for individuals with significant and complex health needs

The NHS covers all costs associated with an individual's care, including medical treatment, personal care, care home fees, equipment, support with daily activities, and any necessary nursing or therapy services

This funding is not means-tested, so the individual does not have to pay for their care.

To get this funding, a person must have an assessment to check if they qualify - For most, the 'checklist' is just the start of the process.
