As far as I know there is no such thing.Can NHS continuing care funding be moved to social continuing care? even though I have been told by hospice nurse that my mother in law needs 24 nursing care?
We have Social Services care plan review this Tuesday.
Can NHS continuing care funding be moved to social continuing care?
Charliep said:Hello, my mother in law Alzheimer's has progressed along with the disease she has COPD, lung cancer (comes under the Pilgrirms Hospice). She has been living at home with good caring support and is funded by NHS continuing care . My mother in law now needs to go into a care home , a nursing care home. Her care plan has been reviewed and there is talk that her continuing care will go from NHS to social which I understand social is dementia and not medical is this correct? If it is correct how can they say she needs 24 nursing care but move funding from medical (NHS) to social?
I hope someone can help. Thank you so much as any information will be helpful for this coming Tuesday Social Services care plan review.
Is chc at home different than chc in a care home?
so there is a chance that even though the family have been advised to start looking for a care home with nursing care they funding may cease?
The only real difference is that 24hr care in a CH is considerably cheaper than 24hr care at home.Is chc at home different than chc in a care home?
