Hospitals and Care Packages

I had help with the retrospective case from a specialist who was recommended on this site years ago. She helped me with process, specialist areas of law and drafting, and she was an immense source of informed support. I have a background in law and a tenacious nature. It’s difficult to imagine how anyone can get through the whole process this alone.

Had it not been for this website and the excellent articles and the experience of other readers I would not have been as well informed and battle ready for the war I have had with my CHC/CCG for the last 3 years.

This is such a helpful article with excellent support information that I know so many people will find of great benefit.

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).
