How we can help

At Compass CHC we specialise in securing continuing healthcare funding from day one. We know our clients don’t want to pay care fees for months, or even years, and then spend time trying to recover these fees in the future. We can help secure funding on an ongoing basis meaning there are no nursing home fees to pay; we can stop the fees now.

Who might be eligible?

If your relative has a primary health need and suffers from issues such as dementia, Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, the full cost of their care should be paid by the NHS via funding called continuing healthcare funding (also known as CHC funding).

What is NHS CHC funding?

NHS continuing healthcare is a free package of care provided by the NHS to individuals over 18 years with significant healthcare needs. Eligibility is based on health needs and not location or financial situation. NHS continuing healthcare can be received in any setting outside of hospital including care homes, hospices or even within your own home.

What is the criteria for CHC funding?

It doesn’t matter what your income is, what savings you have, or whether you own your home; if you meet the criteria, you are entitled to free NHS CHC funding. This funding is available regardless of the setting in which the individual receives care. NHS continuing healthcare funding is not means tested and it can cover up to 100% of care costs.

Compass CHC has been a lifesaver

It has been the best decision as it meant that my husband and I get to keep a roof over our heads with him being cared for in his own home and safe familiar environment.

Brilliant

Compass won all nursing fees for us. They are extremely thorough, professional and efficient. It was a battle but they did it.

As a retired Registered Nurse

I was hugely impressed by the reading and understanding of my husband’s notes. The insight to his needs were very professionally presented at the meetings with total honesty.
