Beacon Continuing Healthcare

Beacon Continuing Healthcare Beacon CHC supplies the NHSE Free Information & Advice Service for NHS Continuing Healthcare, and provides representation services across England.

Beacon was established in 2013 for the purpose of providing independent and high-quality support to individuals and their families in England who need help navigating the NHS Continuing Healthcare assessment, resolution and care planning / commissioning processes. Beacon evolved from a service offered by Age UK in Oxfordshire, and we now operate as a registered social enterprise, with a core set o

f ethical social objectives and values through which all of our work is delivered. For almost a decade, our team of specialist caseworkers have fought for people trying to navigate the maze of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) funding. We are the only Continuing Healthcare support service that is endorsed by Age UK, Parkinson’s UK, the Spinal Injuries Association and EAC FirstStop. At Beacon we provide two separate services – we are the chosen supplier for the NHS England Free Information & Advice service for CHC, and we deliver representation and casework services in CHC across England and Wales.

NHS England is seeking views on how care within All Age Continuing Care (AACC) is currently described, planned and commissioned, and whether a more consistent approach could be helpful.

Beacon has agreed to host the survey on behalf of NHS England in order to reach a wide range of people with an interest in AACC, including people who use services, families, carers, providers and commissioners.

At Beacon we regularly come into contact with individuals and the families of those living at home and being cared for by someone other than a formal care provider.

Often these people tell us they are unsure as to how to best prepare for the Full Assessment for NHS Continuing Healthcare as they either do not understand or have access to records and other information which may be used to support the evaluation, and because informal carers are often very busy with their caring responsibilities, which can be physically and mentally exhausting.

The below guidance offers additional tips including what may be used as evidence, and how this may be obtained.
