Hi, I’m new to the Forum and looking for some advice. My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 11 years ago and as you can understand his health has deteriorated during this time. At the moment he’s in hospital and I’m trying to find out what help/care will be available should we have to go down a different route than the one we were previously on.
I’ve been told by someone at Parkinson’s UK that on their website there is a CHC Checklist - I’ve looked and looked some more and just can’t find it. Does anyone here know where the link is? Or, can anyone provide the link on this message?
Hi there, thank you for reaching out. It sounds like a really difficult time for you both, and it’s completely understandable to want clarity on what support might be available as things change.
The CHC (Continuing Healthcare) Checklist is part of the NHS assessment process, and we do have information about it on our website.
If you scroll down that page, there’s a section explaining the checklist and linking to the NHS guidance.
If you’d like to talk things through, our free and confidential helpline is also here for anyone affected by Parkinson’s: 0808 800 0303. They can help explain the process and what to expect
