Claiming back care and nursing home fees

Over the last few years millions of pounds have been reclaimed by nursing and care home residents and their families, who have paid for care which should ultimately have been the responsibility of their local Primary Care Trust (PCT). If you or a friend or relative are in this position, you may be entitled to a refund of care and nursing home fees.

Over £10 million has been refunded in the last two years alone and in each case a resident or their family has paid for care which, because of the persons physical or mental health needs, should have been down to the local PCT to fund.

Not all people with health needs are eligible for PCT funding and this website tries to cut through the confusion and explain what steps to go through to determine whether you or a loved one is suitable for reimbursement.

With many having already paid out substantial sums for care, including many actually selling the family homes to pay for residential care bills, this site will also look at what steps you can take to recover any money owed.

Hopefully, armed with this information, you will be better informed and better able to determine whether you should be paying for your own care or whether help could be at hand.
