About The Webinar
NHS Continuing Healthcare is a package of care which is arranged and funded by the NHS for those with complex needs. It will meet the full cost of a care package at home, in hospital or in a private care home.
As the population ages, the need to identify who should pay for long-term care has become vital. Deputies should know how to access appropriate funding and executors have a legal duty to maximise the value of an estate and it is important they are aware of potential entitlement to full financial funding of care costs from the NHS.
The webinar will cover:
-
What is NHS Continuing Healthcare and what this means for individuals?
-
The assessment process including the application of the National Framework and Decisions Support Tool;
-
How you challenge decisions through the local and National resolution process;
-
How to request retrospective reviews;
