Care Home Funding.
Our expert Care Home Funding Solicitors are here to guide and advise you if you need support navigating the complexities of care fees, NHS Continuing Healthcare, or protecting your family assets.
Care Home Funding worries can place enormous strain on families at an already difficult time.
When a loved one needs care, it can be hard to know who should be responsible for paying the fees, whether NHS Continuing Healthcare funding should apply, or whether a local authority financial assessment has been carried out correctly. Many families are told that care must be paid for privately, only to later discover that funding may have been available.
At Lanyon Bowdler, our specialist Care Home Fees Solicitors understand the detail and evidence involved in care funding disputes, including NHS Continuing Healthcare assessments, care records, clinical evidence and retrospective reviews. We can help you identify whether a loved one’s health needs may have been wrongly assessed, whether funding should have been awarded, and whether care fees already paid can be challenged and recovered.
We know these cases are often about more than money. Families frequently come to us feeling frustrated, exhausted and unsure whether they have been given the full picture. You can expect careful evidence review, clear advice on the strength of your case, and practical guidance through each stage in securing your loved ones future care needs.
Lanyon Bowdler’s commercial litigation team is recognised as a leading firm by Legal 500 and is top ranked by Chambers UK. Our solicitors have many years of experience supporting clients across England and Wales with care home funding matters, helping families challenge decisions, secure the right funding, and recover fees that may have been wrongly paid.

We have years of experience in dealing with care home funding matters. Get in touch today and we would be more than happy to help.
If you think you or a relative’s care should be funded by the NHS because of a primary healthcare need, please get in touch so we can help.
We are experienced in dealing with continuous healthcare assessments and our team can represent your interests during the process to give you the best possible chance of receiving funding.
Fees can only be reclaimed for care provided after 1 April 2012 unless there are exceptional circumstances.
Everyone currently in care who is either paying the full amount or a contribution to their care may be eligible to make a claim, as are the estates of people who were paying towards their care but have passed away since April 2012.
In a nutshell, the NHS should fund full nursing care for patients with a primary need, regardless of their financial situation. Anyone who needs long-term nursing care, whether in a residential home or not, should have an assessment by the NHS to determine whether they are eligible for continuous healthcare funding.
If you, or a relative, did not have an assessment – or if you disagreed with your assessment outcome – then you do have a right to challenge it.
If nursing needs are incidental to the need for accommodation, then funding is not normally provided by the NHS. It’s a difficult distinction to make, so please contact the team to discuss your individual circumstances.
