CHC funding

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.

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).

I would not have had the strength or confidence to continue my fight on behalf of my late Mum without this web site, the information I have gained here is invaluable. Thank you so much CTBD.

I was lost in a sea of abbreviation, medical words and jargon. I came across Care To Be Different and the more I read, the more I understood what was going on. I felt relief and things became much clearer. The battle I had to fight with people I thought where supposed to be on the side of my mum and Care To Be Different has given me the confidence to do that. Knowledge is power has never been so apt.
