Making Sense of Community Care Law
Specialist community care lawyers helping you understand community care law
Community care law advice and community care solicitors
The community care law department is supervised by community care solicitor Cate Searle. The team has extensive experience providing community care law advice and representation to service users, carers and family members. We provide advice and representation for people who use or need access to health or social services. The community care law department advises on all areas of community care law practice including:
- Securing care plans
- NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding for nursing home fees
- Care service provision for people with disabilities living in their own homes
Community care law and older people
We provide community care law advice to clients whose relatives are in a care facility. We can help get the relevant maximum financial contribution to nursing care fees from the NHS or social services. Specialist advice on the rights of carers to remain in their home when their spouse, or the person they cared for, has gone into care can save money and avoid unnecessary anxiety. See our NHS continuing healthcare advice video.
Our clients also include people planning ahead to understand what financial contributions they will have to make if they, or a relative, go into a nursing or residential care home. Our community care solicitors can also help with questions such as what will happen to savings and the home.
See our Community Care Factsheets for more information.
