Wondered if anyone knew if chc funding being funded for end of life care needs a top up. I assumed wrongly I think that all care would now be funded. We need to find mum a nursing home from hospital as previously self funding in carehome. Chc say they fund nursing part of care but we top up daily care cost. Any advice please.
I'm a bit confused, the thread is titled "palliative care" which is for the terminally ill,
it seems that AZ doesn't qualify as being "end of life care" even though NHS choices says "What end of life care involves - NHS Choices
www.nhs.uk/Planners/end...care/.../what-it-involves-and-when-it-starts.as...
by NHS Choices - 2016
End of life care includes palliative care. If you have an illness that can't be cured, palliative care makes you as comfortable as possible, by managing your pain and other distressing symptoms.[/QUOTE]
"illness that can't be cured," it seems don't cover AZ.
