CHC Process

The book is worth its weight in gold. Easy to read and full of clearly written information. It added enormously to my confidence in the MDT meeting. I could argue my case, backed by the information I gained from the book…I thoroughly recommend the Care to be Different book, as you need all the information you can get, and you will certainly find it therein.

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.

Just wanted to say what a helpful website / book you have – thank you so much.

Offers support and a chance for people to share experiences, advice or generally let off steam when needed.

I was informed about the ‘system’ and how it works by just coming across this website by chance. Never knew there was financial support for care. Thought one had to use their savings or sell their home to finance care. Definitely a minefield, but be prepared to fight for what we are legally entitled to. Also in some cases can go on for months, even years but the support is all here in this website, was invaluable!
