The lack of information about NHS Continuing Healthcare funding is widespread. The problem may even extend to Professional Deputies or Attorneys, who are under a duty to meet a higher standard of care for their clients than that which they would give their own affairs.

Professional Deputies and Attorneys may not have the in-depth knowledge or expertise to pursue applications for Continuing Healthcare effectively on behalf of their clients and may need to seek specialist professional support. Just Caring Legal can provide this invaluable service. We advise our colleagues on how to exhaust the possibilities of seeking state funding to pay care fees before having recourse to client funds. In the worst-case scenario, Professional Deputies and Attorneys could be held liable for wrongly paid care home fees if they fail to pursue this avenue when their client may have a “primary health need”. This is why they stand to benefit from our detailed knowledge and expertise in this area.
