Specialists in Reclaiming Care Home Fees
If you or a family member is in a nursing home due to physical or mental health difficulties you could be eligible to have your care home fees paid by the NHS. You may also be entitled to reclaim nursing home fees you have paid in the past.
A ruling by the Court of Appeal and Health Services Ombudsman states that many of the criteria which were used for assessing whether care home fees should be paid by the NHS do not meet legal requirements.

Who is eligible to have their care home fees paid by the NHS?
If you have a serious long term health condition, you may qualify for funding from the NHS Continuing Healthcare budget to meet the costs of your healthcare needs. This includes the cost of residential and nursing home fees if your care needs necessitate that you live in a nursing or care home, or the costs accrued if you are paying for nursing care to be provided in your own home.
Those with enduring healthcare needs caused by:
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Dementia
- Severe mental or physical disability
are entitled to care home funding, but many primary care trusts have assessed thousands of people with these conditions using the wrong criteria and denied them funding, resulting in many individuals and families being wrongly asked to pay nursing home fees for themselves or their relatives.
In short, if you live in a nursing or care home because of your health or nursing care requirements, you are entitled to have your fees paid. The same principle applies if you receive nursing care in your own home.
