Hi everyone, just wondering how many people here have actually had success in securing CHC funding for someone with advanced Alzheimer's?
If my Mum didn't have 24/7 care and people to essentially do absolutely everything for her, she would die - that seems pretty much a Primary Heathcare Need to me. She has other complications - Osetoporosis and Menieres Disease (constant vertigo), very bad mobility from a fractured hip - but nothing that means she needs an actual nurse looking after her. I have read that CHC is rarely awarded unless someone is on feeding tubes, need a nurse to look after them etc. We did apply at the start of the year and got turned down, but we did get awarded FNC should she move to a care home.
Would be interested to hear your feedback
