Not sure whether NHS Continuing Healthcare is worth exploring?
|
Many individuals and families struggle to understand whether someone’s needs may be primarily health-related, meaning the NHS could be responsible for funding their care, or whether they are more appropriately met through means-tested social care.
The ARROW FREE CHC Eligibility Indicator has been developed to provide an independent starting point. In around 10 minutes, you’ll complete a structured questionnaire based on the NHS Continuing Healthcare framework. Once submitted, your personalised Eligibility Indicator Summary Report will be generated automatically and emailed to you, usually within two hours. While the report cannot determine eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare, it can help you decide whether NHS Continuing Healthcare may be worth exploring further or whether a more detailed independent review may be worthwhile. |
The report provides an initial indication of whether:
🟢 The person’s needs currently appear more consistent with routine social care support 🟡 Some health-related needs are evident alongside social care needs and the situation requires monitoring 🟠 The information suggests a more complex or borderline picture. There may be sufficient health-related needs to justify a more detailed independent assessment 🔴 The information suggests significant health-related needs that may be consistent with NHS Continuing Healthcare and may warrant urgent consideration under the NHS Continuing Healthcare framework |
Who is it for?Who can use the CHC Eligibility Indicator?
The questionnaire can be completed by anyone who has a good understanding of the person’s day-to-day care needs, including: ✔ Family members and friends ✔ Attorneys and deputies ✔ Care home or domiciliary care staff ✔ Social workers and other professionals ✔ Financial advisers and later life advisers How it WorksOnce you have completed the questionnaire, you will automatically receive a personalised PDF Eligibility Indicator Summary Report explaining your result and what it may mean.
