We have a meeting at NH next week for MIL. Has anyone ever managed to achieve the unattainable? And how?

This thread is helpful, thank you OP. Our Dad got FNC on the first ICB assessment. I was there and didn’t expect CHC but made sure the nurse assessing saw the physical and mental health reasons for the move to a nursing home.

For the first review, I was told family weren’t needed there and don’t know the outcome yet - but I expect FNC to continue. Some recent changes in behaviour and demand on nurses time is definitely much closer to ‘unpredictable’ so maybe this means it could be worth me preparing for the next review.

FNC and CHC are different

@Blushingm I know they are different. It was the nurse doing the assessments who told me she was assessing for CHC both at initial review (when FNC was agreed) and before she did the first review - so our ICB seems to consider eligibility in the same assessment here.
