What is NHS Continuing Healthcare?

NHS Continuing Healthcare is a package of care arranged and funded by the NHS for adults with significant ongoing healthcare needs. It is not means tested and can fund care at home, in a care home, in a nursing home or in supported living.

Eligibility can be complex, and many people are unsure whether they qualify. We help present care needs clearly, challenge decisions where appropriate, and ensure the right questions are asked at each stage.

Who we support

We support people receiving care, families worried about funding, attorneys, Court of Protection deputies, executors, solicitors, financial advisers, care providers and professionals working with vulnerable clients. Our team regularly assists where care needs arise from dementia, Parkinson’s disease, acquired brain injury, stroke-related conditions, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, learning disabilities, autism, complex mental health conditions, progressive neurological conditions or frailty.

Many individuals and families are unaware that they may be entitled to NHS Continuing Healthcare funding. As a result, people can find themselves paying for care unnecessarily, experiencing delays in accessing support or struggling to navigate complex assessment processes.
