NHS just pay lip service to Framework. CCG don't want to pay so you won't get passed the assessment.

Interesting - thanks. When you combine severe dementia with multiple critical daily medications to maintain several chronic conditions and health needs, it’s hard to see how NHS Continuing Care is not the logical outcome, but CCGs don’t seem to agree. Not sure there isn’t a conflict of interest with the paying CCG undertaking the initial checklist assessment. All assessments should be independent in my view.

You make it sound so easy, yet I’ve heard the application form’s 29 pages long.

What do nhs state are ‘ rapidly deteriorating condition’ I cannot find examples and therefore this is open to interpretation and debate which means I won’t get funding for the ‘ fast track’ for my loved one.

I’m confused whats deemed as social care? My father has dementia (Parkinson’s/altheimers & lewys body, has osteoarthritis, is incontinent, can’t walk, has falls, has hallucinations, has had bedsores and more. Is social care changing someone’s incontinent pad & washing them or more things.

Why do they take all your money.the one left behind has to live.i thought savings were money saved for rainy day.not !oney for bills in current plus.

My mum has dementia and unstable type one diabetes. She now needs to be in full time nursing care. Is there any point applying?

[@emma8370]

Do the family get to be part of the assessment by reporting what’s been happening & getting worse?

[@chrissheridan8947]

Hi Justin, Just a quick question - I have a client who’s predominant needs revolve around his mental health, with his medication and mental health being constantly reviewed by the psychiatric services. As a result his behaviours are complex, unpredictable and often intense. But for his mental health the local authority could provide a package of care at home but his mental health needs are such that he requires 24/7 care. Recently joint funding was applied for but he was found not eligible. I believe he should be entitled to be fully funded by the NHS but am being ignored. Could you give your opinion. Thanks

It is highly impossible to get NHS continuing care.my husband is in the same position he has gone blind and is completly deaf can't feed himself or walk.has breakouts and requires 24hour care.i had to put him in care because I had no other help.it got that 2caters who came in couldn't manage him so I had no choice.i am not certain he is content in the home.when I go in he is always agitated and restless it can take nearly an hour for me to settle him so I can hug him.then he will smile .He doesn't get any stimulation just sat in a chair all day.must be so confusing for him when he can't see or hear.he gets difficult at bedtime and with personal care.i tried to get NHS funding no they want your money.so what has one to have wrong to get this treatment

Have you read the guidance notes from National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS funded Nursing Care July 2022 (Revised) and defended your case according to the subsections relevant to your client?
