Hi there,
My mum is currently in hospital with what we thought originally was vascular dementia, but have just been told is an untreatable brain tumour. The hospital want to discharge her as soon as possible and have told me they will apply for the fast track CHC for her. What I'm not clear about is whether the CHC funding can only be applied to council funded nursing homes, or does it also apply to privately run nursing homes? I know the three council funded homes in the area, and they're awful - had terrible Cqc inspection reports. So my preference would be for one of the better privately run homes. How do the homes that get offered to you get selected? And if you do go for a privately run place do you have to pay a top up? I have to tell them what I want to do tomorrow and am at a bit of a loss...
Thanks for ur help,
Rachel
