NHS Continuing Care

The cost of long-term care remains a central concern for elderly people, and the type of care required can vary enormously.

Wherever care is provided, whether at home or not, if the individual's needs are such, it may well be that they should not be paying for their care at all, and that it should be funded by the government through the NHS Continuing Care system. The first and most important thing to ensure is that a proper assessment takes place, undertaken by the right people at the appropriate time.

The cost of care is such that it is often advisable to take advice so as to ensure that such an opportunity is not missed. If a decision has already been made that NHS Continuing Care is not available, then a review can be undertaken to consider the prospects of a successful appeal.
