My Father died in 2020 after spending the last few years in a care home as it became harder to get the required level of care for him to live at home. Following his death we believed he needed to be in the care home because of his medical conditions so we contacted Farley Dwek to see if we could claim back all or some of the costs for his care. The process was clearly explained to us so we went ahead. The process was delayed by Covid and the long time it took the Health Authority to respond to the information that was sent to them but we were kept updated as to what was happening and Farley Dwek regularly contacted the Health Authority for updates

We paid for a 1 hour advice session with a specialist CHC nurse , Maq. He was so knowledgable and kindly talked us through everything to expect from the meeting. I went into the meeting feeling equipped with the right language and knowing what I needed to say and how to approach each area of assessment. The session with Maq was well worth it!

27th April 2026 Reference for Farley Dwek (Manchester), in Solicitor’s Review. My late mother’s NHS claim for CHC, Continued Health Care. At the grand old age of 99, in January 2023, my mother passed away. She had been a full-time resident in a Sussex care home for 6 1/2 years. She had received a good standard of care in the home, throughout her stay. For the last 3 years of her life, her osteoarthritis became pronounced, and she was virtually immobile. She quickly lost weight, and became bed-bound. The lady had several significant health care needs. In 2016, the family was obliged to sell the family house in Eastbourne, to begin to pay for the care home fees. In 2018, I had a tussle with the Sussex CCG (predecessor of the ICB) who initially decided that mother was not eligible for Funded Nursing Care (FNC). This decision was appealed, and the CCG subsequently decided in retrospect that FNC was applicable, and FNC was backdated to her arrival in the care home in 2017. Soon after her passing in January 2023, I contacted Farley Dwek (FD) to assist with a potential NHS CHC claim. Andrew Farley was most helpful, and he introduced me to Gill Cropper, a senior case manager at FD. Gill has been really great. She has made a big convoluted extended claim as straightforward as possible, always on hand with top quality, relevant advice. In early 2023, I paid a once-off fee to FD, and commissioned a Retrospective Review of my mother’s potential case. I am so glad I did this, as it has formed the basis of the CHC claim itself. We decided to make a CHC claim for the final two years of mother’s residency. By dint of perseverance, Gill has put together a substantial piece of medical and legal research , despite the care home health records being patchy and some of poor quality. However, in October 2025, the ICB came to the conclusion that there was no eligibility for CHC in these two years. They had their reasons for this. But with Gill Cropper leading, and with her extensive needs evidence to hand, she decided to appeal the ICB 2025 conclusion. We are of the opinion that several of the domains have been under valued by the ICB. Earlier in April 2026, we met with the ICB, via microsoft Teams online - this meeting is called a Local Resolution Meeting, or LRM. We discussed the various CHC domains, and Gill made it clear where and why we are disagreeing with the ICB case. Gill had prepared for this meeting very well. She had a real grasp of the headline banner material, as well as the details supporting my mother’s case. I could not have attended the LRM on my own. I have thanked Gill for her continued high quality support. We are hoping for a positive appeal outcome this time round. I do fully recommend the services of Farley Dwek. Gill Cropper has shown herself as a worthy legal advocate. Thank you Gill for all your hard work, professionalism and advice, over the last 3 years. Reference for Farley Dwek (Manchester) , provided by Steven Kyle, FCA. Son and Executor of his mother’s estate.

We approached Farley Dwek for help following a CHC funding MDT that left us feeling let down and confused. The administrative team were very efficient and after an initial telephone chat, we very quickly received a call back from Andrew Farley to discuss our situation in more detail. I found Andrew to be extremely professional, reassuring, objective and well-informed. He gave me an honest appraisal of our situation and empathetically addressed our expectations from a position of wisdom and experience. Despite the fact we had not officially appointed his firm at that stage (we were still awaiting the CHC decision), he was very generous and gracious with his time on the phone/emails. Thanks to Andrew’s guidance, we were able to articulate and feedback our reservations to the CHC and they ended up ruling in our favour. We therefore did not end up having to formally instruct Farley Dwek for representation but our impression was that they were an exemplary firm with judicious invested leadership and noble ethics.

Great experience with Jonathan. Super fast to arrange a call and chat through all our issues. Gave us confidence to contend CHC award and had the amount they would cover raised as a consequence. Thank you!

What a fantastic group of people. I asked for help with a family member’s continuing health care and paid for a consultation - unfortunately the family member passed away before the scheduled call. I emailed to let them know and Angela and Andrew replied with their condolences and a refund within minutes.

After contacting Farley Dwek solicitors I was put in touch with Angela Armstrong a retired nurse who was going to talk me through the process of my up and coming MDT meeting with the NHS and to assist me in my preparation. It was the best thing I could have done. I was given good advice and felt confident to take on the team that I was due to meet in a couple of days.On the day of the meeting I used Angela’s advice and I can now tell you that we were successful in getting NHS funding for my wife for the future. Thank you Angela.
