Continuing Care FAQs

Q. I am in a care home. Do I have to pay for my care home fees?
A. If the primary reason you are in a care home is because of your health needs then in all probability no. If you or a relative of yours is in this situation contact us for a free no obligation interview.

Q. If I am successful what will I recover?
A. If your claim for continuing care is successful you will have your fees paid and if the claim also covers payments previously made you may recover all those payments as well.

Q. I am not in a care home but I still pay for my care. Can I claim?
A. Yes. If you are paying for care because of your health needs (both physical and mental) then your care costs should be covered by the NHS not out of your pocket. Contact us for a free no obligation interview.

Q. My relative died having paid for care for years. Can we do anything to get a refund of those payments?
A. Yes. If your relative’s care was provided because of their health needs the executors or administrators of their estate can make a claim for retrospective continuing care which can add many thousands of pounds to the sums payable to the residuary beneficiaries of their estate. If you are an executor who has not claimed this money or a residuary beneficiary who has missed out because a claim was not made, contact us, as it may not be too late. We have many satisfied clients whose inheritance has been increased considerably at no cost to them. Contact us for a free no obligation interview
