After an assessment

[crybaby]

I had a chat with someone from the Alzheimer's Society today about what it might be possible for me to do following a decision by my local council team of assessors that my husband is not bad enough to be given help with Continuing Health Care (they said I was looking after him too well!).

He recommended a book called "When does the NHS pay for Healthcare" which he said would be helpful, and was available from the Alzheimers Society shop. Unfortunately they deny all knowledge of it.

Has anyone heard of this book, please?

Hello Crybaby,

I think he might have been referring to a fact sheet rather than a book.

You might find other fact sheets helpful as well. They are on this page:

Thank you so much Soobee

I'll try that

Thanks, Carmar, I did get that sort of suggestion from the guy who was running the carers' group I go to, and he suggested looking up the Alzheimers website, where they do actually list a whole heap of booklets which are free and which we really cannot do without!

I sent for several, and am plowing my way through them. So many people have done So much to help us in our struggle.

Hugs to everyone
