NHS Continuing Healthcare

NHS Continuing Healthcare is a package of social care funded solely by the NHS for some adults who are living with long-term complex health needs. 

Eligibility for NHS continuing healthcare is not dependent on any particular disease, diagnosis or medical condition.  It is available for anyone who has been assessed as needing a certain level of healthcare whether they are living at home or in a nursing home.
