Your guide to Continuing Care assessments
If an elderly individual requires round-the-clock care due to
medical needs, then they may be entitled to support from the NHS in
the form of NHS Continuing Care.
Assessments for this are conducted in order to ascertain whether
any given person is eligible, and in theory this should be
sufficient to ensure that everyone who needs medical care is looked
after.
Unfortunately, it has recently come to life that many Continuing Care assessments have
not been undertaken properly, leaving a great deal of elderly
people forced to pay out of their own pocket for care which should
be paid for by the National Health Service. A common cause of this
is when they require constant nursing care due to conditions such
as Alzheimer's, which in many Continuing Care assessments has been
misinterpreted as an issue which needs to be dealt with by the
local social services.
This can lead to financial loss and even the sale of family
homes to cover the costs of treatment. Fortunately, if a loved one
has been the victim of the commonplace occurrence of poorly
conducted Continuing Care assessments, we may be able to help. Fill
