Top 10 of 325 law firms for NHS Funded Nursing Care, Elder Law

We used FD for help with my Dad's CHC. We started with discussions with Andrew Farley, a partner. The company were responsive and professional throughout. Then we spoke with Maq, a nurse advocate who dug deep into my Dad's health and history. He gave us practical advice and pointed out what the law is, what it requires & how to go about approaching it. We wanted support at the DST, so were put in touch with another Nurse Advocate, Carla; she was amazing. The experience can be daunting and harrowing at times - I have no idea how we'd have done without her support. She visited my Dad at the nursing home, spoke to him and the nurses - Literally left no stone unturned and was tenacious with it. During the meeting she was constantly taking notes and wasn't afraid to raise objection whenever she felt something was incorrect. She uncovered some concerning gaps in my Dad's care which we will be addressing to make sure he is being looked after. We'd never have known otherwise. I realise that getting a solicitor involved for CHC isn't financially possible for everyone, but you're dealing with your family here - You want to do all you can. You can';t guarantee an outcome, but you can at least try. Eventually my Dad was refused full CHC but we got a continuation of his FNC. This was solely down to the nursing home keeping inadequate and contradictory records, which are the ultimate basis for the decision, but Carla even gave them a chance to rectify it in advance, which they chose to ignore. So we can't hold FD responsible for the decision - It's the home's fault. I can completely recommend Farley Dwek, and if you're lucky enough to get Carla as your Nurse Advocate you're going to be re-assured and feel like you have someone fighting your corner in what is, after all, a rigged match. I wasn't paid for this review and wasn't asked to do it, by the way.
