Tell us your views on the NHS Continuing Healthcare service in care homes
NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is a package of ongoing care that is arranged and funded by the NHS for people who are eligible after assessment of their health and social needs. Continuing Healthcare can be provided in a variety of settings outside hospital, such as in your own home or in a registered care home.
An application for Continuing Healthcare can be made by a health or social care professional completing the Continuing Healthcare checklist to determine if the individual meets the criteria for a full assessment. If the criteria are met, a multi-disciplinary Team (MDT) will complete a comprehensive assessment of the individuals health and social care needs, using evidence from records and information from the individual and their family, and make a recommendation to the Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board on eligibility.
