Just wondered what experiences of this people have had? Mum, aged 57 has Pick's disease and today I have finally decided on a CH but because I am not under 16, or over 60 or an estranged partner, they wont exclude the house as 'capital.' Surely thats unfair?! Anyway i came across the NHS Continuing Healthcare idea and of the 12 catergories she could have at least behaviour, cognition, emotinal needs and communication as a priorty health need??
1 Behaviour
2 Cognition
3 Psychological/emotional needs
4 Communication
5 Mobility
6 Nutrition – food and drink
7 Continence
8 Skin (including tissue viability)
9 Breathing
10 Drug therapies and medication: symptom control
11 Altered states of consciousness
12 Other significant care needs
I'm only 25 so everything is feeling a bit on top of me! We have had financial assessments but not a health one, surely thats wrong? I had come to terms with loosing my home, but seems this might be the answer- is it? So has anyone had any experiences of this?
Can I get the GP to do the referral form for more weight? (he's been telling me to put mum into a CH for over a year now)
Thanks for you advice
