Highly Recommended

I'm at the beginning of applying for CHC and know it can be a minefield. I contacted this company yesterday and received a call back today. Danielle is a real expert, answered all my questions and I'm now clear about the next steps I need to take and know that I can contact Danielle with any further queries. And this was all for free!

Wholeheartedly recommended!

Danielle was exceptional throughout our CHC process. My family wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Despite a very tight timeframe (we only asked for her assistance little over a week before our DST meeting!) she had thoroughly familiarised herself with my medical background (certainly not a trivial task!) before meeting us the day before my DST meeting to review this and address our concerns about the assessment before advocating for us within the DST meeting itself.

We fortunately found the nurse assessor very supportive throughout the assessor, and in agreement throughout with the domain levels that Danielle and my family had proposed. We were fortunate that this resulted in a positive outcome for CHC funding, and, at least from our research, a fairly ‘painless’ assessment. So, whilst we cannot say that Danielle’s advocacy affected our outcome, we can certainly say that her support and knowledge of the CHC assessment process was invaluable; at a time of extreme stress due to complicated and failing care arrangements, her presence and knowledge made the assessment processes immeasurably less stressful.

In addition to her support during the assessment, we also now have an extremely thorough report which may (although we hope not!) be very useful for future reviews of CHC funding.

I would also like to add that, even after her role in my case ended, she has provided assistance which we are extremely grateful for.

Thank you very much Danielle!

A great support ❤️

Danni has been a great support to me giving me lots of tips and pointers and advice, helping me through this horrible process and advising me of what steps I need to take to try and understand and fight this, with such a complex process even from her own time and not whilst actually being a paid customer she is always there to give me any help or guidance on the way, I would of been totally lost without her to just drop a quick message too, honestly cannot thank you enough for all that you do ❤️

Advice about POA

Danielle from Simply Continuing Healthcare, offered me a free consultation to discuss my mothers situation and offer invaluable advice about next steps and what else I may need to consider. She has also since been was really helpful in offering her support in my search for advise about POA for health and applying for a court deputyship, going as far as making recommendations of legal companies who could support in that who she also spoke to making an initial enquiry in my behalf anonymously before recommending them. Really great support thank you Danielle.

CHC advocate and subject matter expert

I live in the US and am supporting my dad as LPA. I was struggling to obtain the necessary information to help me understand the Continuing Healthcare Checklist (CHC). Danielle came highly recommended as someone who could help.

She is always available to talk on the phone and has provided concise, accurate and detailed information via e-mail about the CHC which has been absolutely invaluable.

Supporting family members in care homes is very difficult especially when the information needed about funding is very difficult to find. Connecting with Danielle has significantly simplified the process and given me the knowledge I need to support my dad.

Without Danielle's help I would still be wading through the bureaucracy and red tape.

Danielle & this company is the only advocate you need !

If I can give anyone advise on who to choose as an advocate to help them through the awful corrupt world of fighting for CHC funding for our loved ones - please do not look any further then this fantastic company and the truly wonderful Danielle. She has been simply wonderful ! Helped us through every stage and done an excellent report to help us win our appeal - going through so many notes and care records to help give a very strong report - we could not have done it without her - we wish we had found her for the initial DST meeting! but thank goodness we found her for the appeal. Danielle is so professional and friendly and kind - she is behind you all the way and gives a truly personal and professional service - it is her mission to get justice for our loved ones. We could not have got through this stressful time without her - helping us with any questions we had and helping us through the most stressful thing to have to go through. Thank goodness. That there are wonderful people like Danielle out there to get justice for our loved ones- words just can not express how much I reccomend this company and Danielle

Excellent company and advocate

Danni has been an invaluable help with our appeal against the original CHC decision. As others have said below, she is extremely hard working and professional but takes on things at a personal level, where nothing is too much trouble and she is always ready to answer any questions and guide you through the process. Once she took on the case it was a great deal lighter on our shoulders !
She knows the system very well and is experienced with dealing with these cases. If she doesn't think she can win, she won't take on the case. A pleasure to have been involved with.

From day one, Danielle was polite, kind, efficient, hard working and professional.
She is an absolute pleasure to have on side, to try and get this funding.
Her experience is extremely valuable and she knows the system well.
I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Reach out to her, you won't be disappointed!

First Class Advocate in CHC funding!

If you are looking for an Advocate to help you secure Continuing Health Care funding for a loved one then my own recommendation is to look no further!
I am so pleased to have secured this Company in my own fight to secure CHC funding for my dad! Their knowledge is first class and they really do take a personal approach, completing full and detailed reports and making sure that no stone is unturned! I am so glad I came across Danielle and this Company who have literally given a life line to our family and has really impressed us all when we had just about given up all hope! Thank you Danielle, you really have been exceptional and deserve a 5 star review!!
