Care Home Fee Claims

We are highly experienced in NHS continuing healthcare funding and the recovery of care costs, including care home fees. We operate nationwide and our lawyers have an excellent track record in challenging NHS funding decisions. We have successfully recovered substantial sums for our clients. Claims are often funded on a No Win – No Fee basis, so there is usually no financial risk involved.

Continuing healthcare funding claims

If you believe that you or a loved one are paying for care which should be funded by the NHS, then the first step is to contact one of our experts to discuss making a claim.

We can assist people who are in a care home and wrongly paying fees that the NHS should be funding under the continuing healthcare funding scheme.

Alternatively, if you are receiving care in your own home and are worried about the costs, we can establish if you are entitled to receive financial help.

If you have lost a loved one who was paying for care then we can still carry out a retrospective assessment to find out if you are owed a refund by the NHS.

We can also appeal NHS continuing healthcare decisions where your claim for funding has been incorrectly rejected.

Specialist healthcare funding lawyers

We appreciate what an upsetting and daunting time it can be for those moving into a care home and for their families. We handle care claims with compassion and sensitivity and will explain every step of the process to you.

We are specialists in healthcare funding law and are familiar with the arguments the NHS raises when refusing care funding.

Our lawyers will deal with your claim themselves from start to finish and will not pass your claim on to a third party, as is so often the case with many companies who advertise this service.

No Win, No Fee and other funding options

We have a number of flexible options for funding legal costs, including fixed fees and our popular No Win, No Fee scheme. Fear of legal costs should therefore never deter anyone seeking the financial support they are entitled to receive from the NHS.

Areas of Specialism:

You are entitled to reclaim care home fees which have been wrongly paid as a result of an incorrect assessment (or the absence of an assessment) by the NHS, if the main reason for care is due to your health needs. We can arrange for a healthcare assessment to be carried out and oversee reviews of completed assessments.
We will carry out a free initial assessment to establish if there are grounds for claiming a refund of care home fees paid by you or a relative.
If a loved one who was in a care home has passed away, it is not too late to claim a refund of the fees already paid. Talk to us about making a retrospective claim for a refund of care home fees.
Our experts have been specially trained as Dementia Friends, which is an initiative by the Alzheimer’s Society. This means we understand what it is like to live with dementia and can provide you with tailored, practical advice.
If you feel that a claim for care home fees has been incorrectly rejected then talk to us about an appeal.
