Continuing Care
NHS continuing healthcare is the name given to a package of services which is arranged and funded by the NHS for people outside hospital with ongoing health needs
NHS continuing healthcare is free and covers your care home fees,including board ,accommodation and all your care needs including any extra and or specialist care and services.
NHS funding can support people living in care homes who have been assessed and meet the criteria following the 4 key areas:
- Nature – the type of condition or treatment required and its quality and quantity.
- Complexity – symptoms that interact, making them difficult to manage or control.
- Intensity – one or more needs which are so severe that they require regular interventions.
- Unpredictability – unexpected changes in condition that are difficult to manage and present a risk to you or to others.
A full assessment will be done by the Matron or General Manager RGN prior to admission .
All our homes look after continuing care residents but we have specialized units within the group that look after the more challenging residents.
We work closely with the PCTs and have a joint carepathway to ensure the correct care is given using a multidisciplinary team approach..
