FAQs
What is Complex Care?
Complex care is person-centred specialist support for someone with a chronic or long-term health condition, that requires extra assistance to manage their symptoms and daily activities to enable a high quality of life.
How do I get funding for complex care? Who do I go to for funding?
You need to contact your GP or Adult Social Care who will assist you to ascertain if you are eligible to get any funding. They will ask you how much money you have and ask about your income.
If you are eligible you may have to pay a small contribution to your care, but the social worker will sort all of this out for you.
What is a Direct Payment?
This is a budget that Adult social care gives to you to enable you to pay for your care direct to the provider. Most of the time they give you a card, it is like a credit card, they put the money on this card, and you can pay the provider via BACS. If you are not able to manage your own monies you can ask a representative to do this for you, family normally support with this.
What is a Personal health budget?
If you are fully funded by the NHS, the money comes from the CCG, however they ask a local Continuing Health Care (CHC) team to help you with this. If you are eligible to receive CHC care and support, they will ask you to set up a separate bank account and pay the monies into this account. This enables you to pay the care provider via Direct Debit, BACS or by cheque. You can have a nominated person to help you if you are not able to manage your own monies.
