Does anyone have an experience in applying for Continuing Care Funding?
After 3 years of trying, I have managed to prove that my Mother fulfilled the criteria for NHS continuing care funding for a 9 month period ending August 2005.
At that time she was put on notice from the 'residential' home she was living in and I was advised that she needed 'emi residential locked' accommodation. I relocated Mum to such home at our cost, with the result that she is now considered to be fairly stable and NOT fulfilling the criteria.
It doesn't seem right that because of our actions and our monies Mum is deemed not to qualify for continuing care funding. There is no doubt whatever that if we had not moved Mum she would have been in a worse state than at the end of August 2005.
Am I going mad or actually mad to believe therefore that there should be no argument or doubt about it - she should still quality for the funding!
I would be so very interested to hear anyone else's experiences with such things.
Thank you for reading this.
