Make NHS fully fund patients being NURSED in nursing homes.
Washing dressing eating drinking and toileting assistance is free in hospital and called nursing.why when patients are transferred to nursing home does it become the activities of daily living and means tested. Why is it so difficult to prove a primary health need to allow the NHS to fund it
Dementia care is very often more abt personal care than anything else. People with short term memory find it very difficult to manage there own basic care.It is therefore by definition discriminated against unfairly when assessing fees. The present NHS system is convoluted,obstructive and set up to ensure as few people as possible qualify and the they can pass the cost to social services which is means tested. The NHS has a duty of care to provide this care at the point of need.
