How we can help

We help people with a learning disability and very complex health problems to see if they are eligible for continuing healthcare NHS funding.

One of our commissioning nurses will contact you or your representative to arrange to meet you. They will talk to you about the process and what information is needed and will identify if you have a primary health or social care need.

We will work with people who become very ill and require a lot more care to set up 'fast' track' funding.

People in a care home may be suitable for other funding.

If you do receive funding we will ensure that your care needs are met. This would be done by listening to you, your representative and other health professionals. Together an appropriate care package would be set up to promote/maintain your health and to keep you safe, whilst enjoying life.

If you are not eligible for funding then your social care worker is responsible for setting up your care package.
