Continuing Care Claims
Ensuring that you or a member of your family receive adequate care in the event of illness or long-term injury is of considerable importance.
Individuals seeking to ensure that elderly parents or relatives are properly cared for, families seeking help with the care of a long-term disabled child or professionals acting as attorneys or receivers for the long-term sick and disabled face significant difficulties in securing adequate funding.
Recent changes in the law designed to simplify the process have regrettably failed to ease the situation and in some cases have resulted in individuals with existing satisfactory long-term care packages in place, losing that care.
At Foot Anstey we have experience in assisting clients with a wide range of care funding issues such as:
- Assessing continuing care, nursing care and social care requirements
- Making applications to Primary Care Trusts for continuing care funding
- Appealing against the decision of a Primary Care Trust for continuing care funding
- Making an application for retrospective continuing care funding to reimburse a patient or family members for care home fees paid in the past
- Conducting appeals in relation to continuing care funding claims
- Applying to strategic health authority review panels
- Seeking judicial review of the decision of Primary Care Trusts and social services
