- Some care homes are registered to provide both residential and nursing services (dual registered) so you won't need to move if your needs change. In Barnsley all of our care homes are run privately. You can find a care home, look at the services provided and read reviews on the Care Quality Commission website.

Integrated care boards, known as ICBs (the NHS organisations that commission local health services), must assess you for NHS continuing healthcare if it seems that you may need it. For most people, there's an initial checklist assessment, which is used to decide if you need a full assessment. However, if you need care urgently – for example, if you...

If you're eligible for NHS continuing healthcare, your needs and support package will normally be reviewed within 3 months and thereafter at least annually.

If the ICB decides you're eligible, but takes longer than 28 days to decide this and the delay is unjustifiable, they should refund an...

I have a local authority support package that works well. I'm now eligible for NHS continuing healthcare – will my support package change?
If you're concerned about changes to your care package because of a move to NHS continuing healthcare, your ICB should talk to you about ways that it can give you as much choice and control as possible. This could include the use of a personal health budget, with 1 option being a "direct payment for healthcare".
Can I refuse an assessment for NHS continuing healthcare? If I refuse, will I be able to get services from my local authority?

If there's evidence that a move is likely to have a detrimental effect on your relative's health or wellbeing, discuss this with the ICB. It will take your concerns into account when considering the most appropriate arrangements. If the ICB decides to arrange an alternative placement, they should provide a reasonable choice of homes.
