NHS funded nursing care

Learn what NHS-funded nursing care is, who qualifies, and how it helps cover nursing home fees if you need care from a registered nurse but aren’t CHC eligible.

NHS-funded nursing care is when the NHS pays for the nursing care part of your nursing home fees. You might be eligible for this if you’re not eligible for NHS continuing health care but have been assessed as needing care from a registered nurse and live in a nursing home.

You can be assessed for NHS-funded nursing care at the same time as you have your continuing healthcare assessment.

If you fund your care yourself and receive this payment, it should appear on your bill from the nursing home.
