Care Fees

We have personal experience of family members who have needed residential care and/or nursing care where we have successfully applied for Continuing Health Care (CHC). This means all their care fees are funded by the state. 

Many people are mistakenly paying for care fees that should be state funded. We know of families who were incorrectly told by medical staff that they will be classed as self-funding due to the value of their house or the savings they have. In some cases people have had to sell their house to pay for care fees.

But a person who has a primary health need may qualify for CHC. This could mean all future care fees are paid by the state and could even lead to repayment of all care fees paid to date.
