Financial Support
NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is a comprehensive care package funded by the NHS for individuals with significant health needs. Those with severe and ongoing health conditions requiring intensive care may qualify for CHC funding, which covers the full cost of their care. Eligibility is determined through an NHS assessment that evaluates both physical and mental health needs to ensure the appropriate level of support is provided.
Dorset Council
For individuals who may not meet the criteria for NHS Continuing Healthcare, Dorset Council offers assistance with care costs. This support is based on a financial assessment that considers income, savings, and overall financial circumstances. If eligible, the local authority may contribute to the cost of care, ensuring that individuals with moderate or lower needs still receive the help they require.
Gloucestershire county council
For adults who may need help to stay independent, safe and well, Gloucestershire County Council offers adult social care support. This support is based on an assessment that looks at a person’s situation, daily needs and the type of help required, whether those needs are short-term, sudden, gradual or long-term. If eligible, the council will work with you to ensure you can access the right care and support to maintain your wellbeing.
