NHS Continuing Healthcare

Great site, make you feel part of a family – no one is alone as we have all been through some very testing times.

Marisa

Thank you to CTBD as this site and the ebook prepared me for the trauma of dealing with “the authorities” and therefore allowed me to be very aware of Mum’s rights and how to answer the awful questions that are asked in the assessment. Initially Mum’s care was fully funded but ultimately the powers that be assessed her condition to have improved so for the majority of the last 7 years she had only limited funding. However, the breathing space that my knowledge of the process and being able to initially secure full funding enabled me to come up with a funding strategy (Lifetime Care Annuity) that we were lucky enough to be able to afford through the house sale, and which more than paid for itself; firstly due to Mum’s unbelievable will to live in surviving beyond the estimates of the actuaries, but just as importantly because of the peace of mind the family has had in not needing to worry about carehome fees. I hope this message is helpful to anyone at the start of the journey and that the advise provided by CTBD is just as helpful to them as it was to me (and of course my Mum).

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.

Thank you for the expert advice on your website and in particular your publication “How to get the NHS to pay for care”. CHC is a difficult process to navigate and a well guarded secret but with your resources and many hours of study it can be achieved. Nervous for the 3 month review but taking one day at a time, it’s a marathon not a sprint that’s for sure.

Concise, clear information when you need it the most.
