Can anyone help please.
My Dad was discharged from hospital on 13.1.20 into a discharge to assess bed (d2a bed) awaiting an NHS CHC funding assessment.
The hospital told the Nursing home that while he was there he needed 1 to 1 care as he is at very high risk of falling
dad had the NHS CHC funding assessment within 4 weeks of being in the d2a bed but the assessor said she needed more info from the Nursing home regarding the 1 to 1 care to decide if they would pay for the 1 to 1 care. (not the actual Nursing home fees though).
While she was awaiting the additional info from the Nursing home the Coronavirus lockdown came in and he has now been in the d2a bed for 19 weeks and I still have nothing at all in writing about his NHS CHC funding assessment results or his 1 to 1 care.
I believe that the d2a bed is free until you have had the NHS CHC funding results.
I have yet to have any request for payment of Nursing Home fees.
My question is:-
Can the County Council of Local Authority ask me to pay for the 15 weeks (19 - 4 = 15) Dad has spent in the d2a bed.
