NHS Continuing Healthcare

Been an absolute life line. Super informative and great support from everyone involved.

Straightforward advice to help see through the complex maze of CHC. Friendly advisors and initial 1:1 support is free. This support was enough to ensure I knew what to do so we didn’t need to go to the next stage of paying.

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.

CHC is the NHS’s ‘best kept secret’ and Care To Be Different, through their excellent website and supportive Face Book page provide the tools to help families unlock this. Having a sound knowledge of the ‘system’ certainly helped me to secure full CHC funding for my mother following a second eligible assessment in September 2019. Recently, after a 2 1/2 year battle, her first completely flawed ineligible assessment was overturned at IRP.

Amazing, supportive source of information.
