If a family member needs long term care in a nursing or residential care home and that relative’s requirements revolve around their health needs then the responsibility for paying for their care should lie with the NHS. Yet many individuals are paying for their care when they should not be.
You can challenge these fees by asking for a retrospective review. If successful you will be able to ensure that future fees will be paid by the NHS and will receive a refund of fees already paid by you.
You can even claim back fees wrongly paid not withstanding the person in care has subsequently died.
Payment by the NHS when you are in ill-health is a right. brains solicitors will provide expert legal advice on making a claim and will provide support to families faced with the complex and stressful prospect of long term care.
