How Compass CHC can help

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, only to spend time trying to recover them 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 funding is a free package of care provided by the NHS to individuals 18 years and over 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 a 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.

Advice from James

Although my father who is 90 years old and has vascular dementia wasn’t at the stage that they could help I was very impressed with the truthfulness. It wasn’t all about taking money from us to support his application. He explained that at this moment in time, my father would not meet the criteria

Compass have helped our family immensely

It’s taken a year and two appeals for our claim to be approved for something that should be a right under the NHS premise of health care free at the point of need.

Essential support

We recently attended an extremely challenging second checklist meeting about our relative’s healthcare. Without the input, guidance and professionalism of our CHC advocate Amin, it would have been the most distressing meeting we have ever encountered. Whatever the outcome we could not have coped wit
