Help from the NHS to pay for care
If your main or primary need for care relates to a long-term complex health condition (rather than personal or social care) then the NHS may be responsible for your care services and could provide these without you having to contribute towards them. It is arranged and funded solely by the NHS, and is known as NHS continuing healthcare.
Your social care worker will advise you if they think this may apply to you. Find out more about this on the NHS Choices website.
