Avoid paying care home fees with Compass Continuing Healthcare.
Should I have to pay for care?
If an individual’s primary need for care is a health need. There is funding available, called NHS continuing healthcare (or CHC), that pays all care fees in full, whether the care is provided in a residential or nursing home or where the individual remains in their own home.
In the absence of NHS funding, if an individual has assets exceeding £23,250 then they are liable to pay for the cost of their care. Even when the assets of the individual falls below £23,250 they have to continue to part contribute to their care home costs until they fall below £14,000. Even when this lower threshold is met the individual will be required to contribute towards their care home costs from any income they receive.
With the cost of care rising and the average costs of nursing care in England and Wales now reaching £1,800 a week, or £93,600 a year. It is important for individuals with complex care needs to investigate the option of NHS continuing healthcare funding.
NHS Continuing healthcare funding is NOT means tested and pays 100% of the care costs of the individual wherever they receive their care. There is NOT a requirement to be in a nursing home to be eligible for NHS continuing healthcare.
