What is a personal health budget?<\/h2>\n \n

A personal health budget is money provided by the NHS for identified healthcare needs.<\/p>\n \n \n

Personal health budgets<\/a>\u00a0can be given directly to the person who is looking to receive care and can be used to set up a package with a care provider of their choice.<\/p>\n

Individuals who receive\u00a0NHS continuing healthcare<\/a>\u00a0are eligible for a personal health budget. They provide the person receiving care with greater autonomy, flexibility and involvement in their plan of care. People who qualify for a personal health budget can either use the money directly to organise care or work with NHS teams to identify suitable options. Many people who need care choose Helping Hands because of our reputation for high quality care at home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Why opt for home care?<\/h2>\n \n \n \n

Many families are opting for home care because it puts them back in control of the support they receive, and gives them more control over their finances, routines, schedules and lifestyle choices. Home care allows you to remain in the home that you love and continue living life on your own terms, safe in the knowledge that you\u2019ve got\u00a0private carers<\/a>\u00a0providing you with all the care and support that you require.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
