Just wondering if the rules have changed re nursing fees. On Monday Mum moved from a residential to a nursing home on the advice of social services. The new nursing care home representative has provided me with a contract to sign, she also mentioned that I should arrange for payment of the fees in full and the nhs will reimburse the £150odd for nursing fees to mum’s account, (as the system has now changed).
I recall my father’s care home applied and received directly the nhs fees in 2017 until he passed away.
I have emailed social services but have yet to receive a response, I know they are extremely busy trying to organise correct care for everyone.
Just hoping someone might already know about this and can tell me how to proceed. I need to apply pretty quickly if it is down to me as she has already moved in.
Any help is much appreciated.
