Help with the Continuing Care checklist
The Continuing Care checklist is a set of criteria that must be
met in order for an elderly person to be eligible for the NHS's
Continuing Care scheme.
This comes into play when a person must go into care for medical
reasons which require them to have round-the-clock nursing
support.
The Continuing Care checklist states
that, in order to be able to receive funding for their care home
fees, they must have medical problems which affect their life
extensively and are the primary reason which they need to go into a
care home.
Also on the Continuing Care checklist is that they need
assistance with their medical needs which could not be reasonably
expected to be provided by the local social services.
However, even if you feel that an elderly loved one meets all of
the necessities on the Continuing Care checklist, the sad truth is
that many assessments are performed incorrectly and leave those who
should be receiving NHS help funding their own care home fees
instead.
If you are concerned that this has happened to an elderly
relative who you think meets all the criteria on the Continuing
Care checklist, get in touch with us and we will look into your
case and see if you may be able to claim compensation. Simply fill
out the form and we will contact you shortly.

"I just had to put pen to paper and write to say I'm more than delighted with my settlement that you won me back from my PPI I had with Lloyds TSB. The Claim Forms were simple to fill in. It was a breeze"
