Hello
This is all a bit new to me. My Dad is about to have the CHC checklist and later the assessment. I am trying to read (and understand??!!) all the documentation relating to this topic.....but there is a lot of it!
Could anyone tell me, if Dad was granted NHS funding later down the line, who does this get paid to? the individual to use as they wish or to the care home they live in?
What happens if they still live at home and they require nursing care, can they remain at home and district type nurses visit and this be paid for from their NHS CHC funding.
If they live in a Care Home that offers high levels of care and 'end of life care' but is not a traditional "nursing" home, can they still receive NHS funding and remain at that care home because moving them from their home at that stage to a Nursing Home would be detrimental to their health and wellbeing----and if someone is eligible for the funding in their own home there shouldn't be any difference!
Can anyone explain this please
I will continue reading through the documents!!
