Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

Partner with an Independent CHC Nurse Advocate for Exceptional Client Representation

As a busy professional, your time is invaluable, and your clients deserve the highest standard of advocacy during the Continuing Healthcare (CHC) process. Our Independent CHC Nurse Advocate provides bespoke support, ensuring accurate assessments and fair representation for your clients at every stage of the CHC journey.

Comprehensive Support from a Trusted Expert

Whether you require representation during a Checklist, a Decision Support Tool (DST) meeting, a Review, or throughout the entire CHC process, our experienced nurse advocate is here to help. We’re committed to delivering professional and empathetic support to secure your clients’ rightful access to CHC funding. In cases where funding applications are unsuccessful or withdrawn, we explore viable alternatives to protect your clients' interests.

Why Professionals Choose Us

Engaging an independent nurse advocate adds value to your practice and strengthens your clients' trust in the CHC process. Key benefits include:

Unbiased Expertise: Our nurse advocate brings specialised healthcare knowledge, ensuring your clients' health needs are thoroughly and fairly assessed.

Enhanced Advocacy: We prepare compelling, evidence-based cases to maximise the chances of obtaining CHC funding.

Streamlined Workflow: Delegating CHC advocacy to a seasoned nurse allows you to focus on your core responsibilities without compromising on client care.

Professional Assurance: Enjoy peace of mind knowing our advocacy services adhere to the highest professional standards and regulations.

Additional Support: Attendance at Care Act Assessments

We also provide support by attending Care Act Assessments, evaluations conducted by local authorities to identify an individual’s care and support requirements. These assessments, often carried out in a client’s home or care setting, determine the assistance needed for safe and independent living. Other professionals involved in the client’s care may also contribute.

During these meetings, eligibility for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) funding is considered. It is crucial to have an advocate present to accurately represent and address the needs of vulnerable clients. Our presence ensures a thorough and personalised care plan is developed, covering everything from daily living activities to long-term health considerations. By advocating on behalf of your clients, we help secure the best possible outcomes in their care and support plans.
