I'm very confused by these discussions as in our experience the challenge for people living with dementia and their families is getting a CHC Assessment. CCG's/ICB's try and jump straight to Funded Nursing Care or ineligible outcome without a full CHC Assessment. If they are documenting that people have refused consent, this is likely to be a CCG/ICB tactic to avoid doing assessments, chances are they haven't discussed with family/NOK/POA and are documenting refused consent when people lack capacity.
Thank you for your comment, we agree so much more needs to be done to address CHC funding and assessment backlogs. Our focus at CHS Healthcare will always be about the best interests and wellbeing of the individuals living with dementia and their families. Adequate assessments are vital to ensure that they receive the appropriate level of care and support they need. We provide a range of services, from supporting families to make the right care choices for their loved ones, to care co-ordination, all models of D2A, data management and control, and management of assessments and new applications. We’ve also been in touch with your organisation and we look forward to hopefully working with you I the future.
