Continuing Healthcare

HOW WE CAN HELP

At Anthony Palmer & Associates Nursing Experts we are specialists in securing continuing healthcare (CHC) funding for clients who need long-term care when their care is deemed a primary health need.

We know that our clients don’t want to pay expensive care fees for months, or even years, and then spend time trying to recover the fees in the future

There is wide variation in eligibility rates across different areas, highlighting disparities in how CHC funding is applied.

The process can therefore be complex and often frustrating to navigate, resulting in delays and challenges for individuals and families.

Our nursing experts are highly experienced in report writing and giving oral evidence, which gives us a distinct advantage in communicating nursing care needs over traditional care providers.

We ensure that care plans are robustly written as source evidence to any application.

Our charges are often recouped by the amount that clients receive from the NHS for two weeks continuing healthcare payments.

Who might be eligible?

If you or your relative has a primary health need and suffers from issues such as dementia, Alzheimer’s, cancer, Parkinsons or other degenerative neurological conditions, the full cost of their care should be paid by the NHS via funding called continuing healthcare funding (also known as CHC funding).

What is NHS CHC funding?

NHS CHC funding is a free package of care provided by the NHS to individuals with significant healthcare needs. Eligibility is based on health needs and not location. NHS CHC funding can be received in any setting outside of hospital including care homes, hospices or even within your own home?

What are the criteria for CHC funding?

It doesn’t matter how much your income is or how much money you have saved – if you meet the criteria, you are entitled to free NHS CHC funding which can cover up to 100% of care costs.
