After your assessment

Wonderful information all in one place, best help ever for anyone.

I honestly cant thank you enough! Reading the website gave us the knowledge that our late mother, who, after following an NHS blunder, suffered a severe stroke and was left with severe brain damage and unable to speak – she was actually refused CHC! This website gave us the confidence to appeal their decision and the knowledge to work through each decision tool, and give solid reasons how she met the criteria. We even questioned how many assessments one of the decision makers had done (which turned out to be just one, a few years ago!) Once they knew we “knew our stuff” , they upheld our appeal, awarded CHC to Mum and the family home that had been owned by our parents for 60 years was saved from being swallowed up in nursing home fees. We would never have done this without you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Helpful advice about the care system, CHC, social care etc., Highlighting how common it is to be treated so badly by the system. Some of the stories are heartbreaking and very close to home.

Just going through the process for CHC for my mother in law, its been a no twice, came to this site which has given me hope, inspiration and ideas how to do and say things. We are going all the way. We cannot let this happen to our elderly, we must fight for their NHS.

Care to be Different should be advertised as widely as possible – I feel – for their informal, accurate, helpful and encouraging advice. Their resources are invaluable to anyone in need of proper advice regarding NHS Continuing healthcare funding and the myriad of legalities and obligations. Their reference guide is excellent (as are their many website posts on the various relevant subjects).
