Your Community Care Solicitors in Warwick
What's a solicitor got to do with care?
Community care refers to a broad range of services that are provided by the local authority and the NHS to meet an individual’s health and social care needs. Most of the time, the level of care and support received by an individual is excellent, however sometimes disputes can arise around the level of care and support received.
We can provide support when a dispute arises around your care and support, whether that service is being provided by the local authority or an NHS body.
Care and support provided by the local authority is principally governed by the Care Act 2014. This Act sets out the duties and responsibilities of the local authority to undertake an assessment of you, a family member or friend and the care you should be provided if you are deemed to be eligible for care and support after an assessment has been completed.
In the event that you disagree with a decision made by the local authority in relation to the care and support you should receive and how that should be funded, we can assist you in trying to resolve that dispute. We regularly advise our clients on the following matters:
- Failure to carry out a community care assessment (also known as a needs assessment)
- Challenging the outcome of a community care assessment
Failure by the local authority to provide services following a community care assessment - Disputes about care home placements
- Disputes about arranging and paying for your care including care home fees, top ups, deferred payment agreements, personal budgets and direct payments
- Withdrawal or change of community care services by the local authority
Our team of specialist Solicitors have a wealth of experience to support you in ensuring that you or your family receive the level of care and support you are entitled to.
