Hi.
My father, who has vascular dementia among numerous other health issues, had been in residential care for the past 10 weeks. Yesterday he was moved to a nursing home in the Stockport CCG district.
My main question concerns NHS Continuing Health Care.
Whilst in the residential home CHC did some kind of assessment and concluded dad is eligible for FNC. I questioned this and requested that a full assessment for CHC be carried out. They agreed and have now given us a date of 26th January for the assessment using the Decision Support Tool to be carried out.
I am pretty much ofay with all the criteria, the 12 domains ect. I have tried to digest as much information as possible from the National Framework and the multitude of information available on the net.
My question is really aimed at anyone who may have had the assessment done for a relative and was present whilst it was being done. I know we have to go armed with as much info as possible but how do we actually convey this information??
Do we put our views forward, along with actually documented evidence as they go through each domain or do we challenge them when it has been completed??
Hope someone can help
