NHS Funding for Nursing Home Care

In England and Wales, the NHS must pay for care for anyone over the age of 18 who has primary physical or mental health needs which have arisen as the result of disability, accident or illness.

Funding provided by the NHS for nursing homes, care homes or other continuing care services is covered by the “NHS Continuing Healthcare” and “NHS-funded nursing care” schemes.

Sadly, it is often left to chance whether or not a person qualifies for NHS Continuing Healthcare. It is the duty of the various NHS Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to decide on a person’s eligibility for Continuing Healthcare. Unfortunately they do not always use the approved criteria correctly to make those decisions.

The Wealth Care Partnership have forged a link with Cheselden Continuing Care Ltd, who can help establish whether the NHS should have funded healthcare for you or your loved one. They can help retrieve the money paid out for that care if it should have been funded by the NHS.

Cheselden Continuing Care Ltd was founded in 2007 and is now the leading independent continuing care review specialist in England.  If you would like to know if you have wrongly paid for nursing or care home fees, call them direct on
