I had a meeting with someone from Social Services today regarding my 86 year old mother, an Alzheimer's sufferer with extreme mood swings, sleepless nights and challenging behavioral issues, the Council person surmised that a regular residential home wasn't suitable for her and she needed full time care + nursing.
AFAIK is it the case that NHS Continuing Healthcare is very rarely granted?, especially in the case of Dementia / Alzheimers patients, I've looked at the checklist and she would only score clear C's in continence, communication and breathing, the other eight categories are all clear A/B's and her medical and hospital history would attest to it.
Having said that, I'm only guestimating a 10% chance of getting it, do many people have experiences of this?
