NHS Continuing Healthcare

NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

NHS continuing healthcare is free care for people who have significant and ongoing healthcare needs. It’s often referred to as CHC funding.

NHS continuing healthcare is provided outside of a hospital setting, normally in your own home or a care home.

When receiving care in your own home, the NHS pays for the support you need from health professionals as well as the cost of personal care. For example this might include help with washing and getting dressed. When in a care home the NHS will also pay your care home fees.
