Health, continuing care and nursing homes
If you have an elderly relative who is in a poor state of health,
continuing care is a scheme that they may be able to benefit
from. Continuing care is provided by the NHS when an individual's
state of health is such that they require extensive nursing
assistance. Unfortunately, in many cases, when looking at an
elderly individual's health, continuing care assessments have
failed to take into account conditions which can result in a need
for 24 hour care.
As a result of this, for many elderly people in poor health -
continuing care being designed for them - are nonetheless left to
fund care home fees from their own pockets, often draining their
finances and leaving them nothing to pass down to their
descendants. However, it is possible to challenge the health
assessment for continuing care and ensure that they receive the
help they need, in addition to compensation for any funding they
were required to pay for themselves when they should have had NHS
help.
