Hi guys, we'd really appreciate any advice you have on this, any personal experience etc.
so we have been turned down for CHC for my bedbound grandma (who has Alzheimers and vascular dementia) we have agreed on the scores, but based upon what they scored they have turned her down. We however feel she meets the criteria they have set.
Her scores are as follows:
Behaviour: High
Cognition: Severe
Psychological: Moderate
Communication: Moderate
Mobility: High
Nutrition: Moderate
Continence: Moderate
Skin: Moderate
Breathing: No Needs
Drugs: No Needs
Altered States: Moderate
So in total she has 1 severe, 2 high and 6 moderate.
We aren't sure whether it is worth the energy of appealing if they will turn around straight away and there is no way we will get CHC. if you guys think that there is a chance she could be eligible then we will give it a go.
Any advise or suggestions really gratefully received.
Thanks,
Gem
