Social care

Very helpful information on a range of issues and easy to navigate through the complexities of continuing funding.

The only information that is readily available from people who have been or going through this unfortunate turmoil.

Yesterday I received notification that my CHC application for my relative has been successful. I bought and studied your excellent book before the MDT. Without this, I am sure the outcome would have been different. It was invaluable, many thanks.

Thank you Care To Be Different for this website and all the invaluable information it contains.

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.
