Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Adults
Continuing Health Care- Adults
NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is the name given to a package of care that is arranged and funded solely by the NHS for individuals who are not in hospital but have complex on-going healthcare needs.
Intermediare Care- Adults
Complete Intermediate Care assessments for hospital in patients who are deemed are medically fit for discharge but require further therapy input to maximise their mobility and functional abilities. Furthermore, the department provides hospital avoidance beds for patients in the community to avoid hospital admissions.
How to access the service
If you are eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare, you can receive NHS continuing healthcare in any setting, for example:
- in your own home – the NHS will pay for healthcare, such as services from a community nurse or specialist therapist, and personal care, such as help with bathing, dressing and laundry
- in a care home – as well as healthcare and personal care, the NHS will pay for your care home fees, including board and accommodation
NHS continuing healthcare is free.
