RECLAIM NURSING HOME FEES
Thousands of people are paying for care in nursing homes and care homes when they should be entitled to continuing healthcare funding.
Real Claims can help put forward a compelling case for a refund. In England, this can be backdated to 2012 and you can still make your claim regardless of whether or not your loved one is still in a nursing home.
COMPELLING NUMBERS
- The average amount spent on care home fees is £50,000 over an average period of 65 weeks.
- Less than 30 % of the people eligible for continuing healthcare funding actually receive it.
- There are over 100,000 people who should receive continuing healthcare funding but they are unaware of this benefit. Almost £5 bn is being paid privately by people all over the country but many of them should be entitled to this funding.
- Care home funding should be free at the point of use. It is contingent on a number of factors. If you or a loved one has a primary healthcare need, you should not be paying for their healthcare fees. If they are in a care home or a nursing home, their fees should be paid by the local primary care trust that is the clinical commissioning group.
- There is a huge percentage of people who should be entitled to continuing healthcare but do not receive it. However, this funding is not normally offered. Unfortunately, and all too often, you need to fight in order to get what is rightfully yours. Continued healthcare funding appears to be no different.
- We are experts in healthcare funding refund claims. If you or a loved one has been in a nursing home and you have been paying privately for the same whilst suffering from a primary healthcare need, then you should be entitled to claim for a refund of the payment. This is important as many people have lost their homes and inheritance as a result of their parents suffering from primary healthcare needs. As a result, they had no choice but to go into a care home or a nursing home.
- If you have been paying your care home fees, you can request a review for fees paid since 2012 to date. In cases where the fees were paid before 2012, there is no automatic right of review in England, although you can still request a review in Wales.
- Of course, you could do this yourself. However, it is time consuming and requires a lot of resilience. With our services, you would save time and effort as we will be there for you every step of the way. We understand how delicate and trying these circumstances can be.
So whether you have a loved one or are in a nursing home yourself and you are paying nursing home fees, we are able to help you recover what you deserve. You may still claim even if your loved one no longer resides in the home.
