My wife's in an EMI nursing home, some of the residents in there are, like my wife; immobile, incontinent, unable to feed themselves and have effectively zero comprehension, some are worse and are bed bound and on oxygen and need regular medical care.
I asked about getting CHC and the manager told me they don't even bother to apply anymore.
I asked "not even for resident X" who I'd never ever seen other than as a lump under a duvet when the staff entered and left her room, "no, not even her" was the reply.
I also understand it is reviewed after the first 6 months and if you haven't had the decency to die in that time they'll routinely withdraw it as you've obviously got better.
