I know the threshold is high and it's a long and arduous process but we're probably going to be going through it with my grandmother.
She is 90 and has had all home based support withdrawn as her medical needs are too complex for district nursing. She is currently in short term respite care which is partly funded by her state pension. We are in the process of looking for a full time home for her.
Does anybody have any experience of the CHF and the criteria used to make the decision. I know there's no specific guidance and it depends on how her primary caregivers assess her needs. I've found massive variation in outcomes.
We're assuming we won't be successful as very few people are but given that the fund exists for people whose care is dependent upon a primary health need, I'd argue that she probably should be a prime candidate.
