What is Care To Be Different?

We are a specialist online information resource all about NHS Continuing Healthcare funding in England.

NHS Continuing Healthcare is NHS money that covers the cost of care for people who meet certain criteria in terms of their care needs. It is not means-tested and eligibility has nothing to do with a person’s money, home or savings.

If you (or a relative) need full time care and you have a certain level of savings/assets, you’ll probably be told to pay. But this is where mistakes are made. If you have health needs you should first be assessed for NHS Continuing Healthcare funding.
