Unfortunately that is exactly the point, people do not know about continuing care, generally they are not told anything about it by the authorities, so how could they enquire about it.]

I agree . CHC is hardly ever mentioned even though it is an entitlement for ill people.
It is sad that the health professionals do not provide information to patients and relatives. It is all about keeping costs down.
If universal health care is to be discontinued then their should be an honest debate. The current proposals continue to make a distinction between health and social care without mentioning CHC.

People cannot apply for CHC if they have never heard of it.

I feel for you. It is so hard not to feel guilt. Have you tried the Alzheimers society for support. We have found them to be excellent in the past. Membership is free if you are caring for a relative with Alzheimers.
