Personal Health Budget
What is a personal health budget?
A personal health budget is money provided by the NHS for identified healthcare needs.
Personal health budgets can 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.
Individuals who receive NHS continuing healthcare are 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 Notting Hill Care because of our reputation for high quality care at home.
What’s next once you have a personal health budget?
We work alongside the NHS to ensure your budget and your care plan are suitable for you.
Once you have your personal health budget, your next step is to partner with a care provider. When you approach Notting Hill Care for a care plan, you can expect us to work cooperatively with you and your NHS teams to establish budgets and an outcome-based care plan. Regularly working in partnership with healthcare professionals to organise NHS-funded packages, Notting Hill Care welcomes the personal health budgets, which will see customers exercising more control over their care.
A person-centred care plan
At Notting Hill Care, we are passionate about the provision of person-centred care that fits the needs of the individual. We’ll take the time to ensure we fully understand your care requirements and wishes.
Support from registered nurses
Our registered nurse specialists or local care managers with specific expertise, conduct assessments with our customers to establish what it is that they want from our services
One-to-one home care
Unlike most residential care homes, we provide our customers with dedicated one-to-one support from expert carers – with the added benefit of being able to remain independent in the home that you love
Some of the benefits of home care include:
Bespoke support
You’ll get a care plan that is fully tailored to your personal needs and preferences, and we’ll adapt your support as your circumstances change
A holistic approach
Our holistic approach means no stone is left unturned in your care plan, so you and your loved ones will get long-term emotional, practical and physical care
Stay in a familiar environment
Many people relish the chance to remain in the comfortable, secure surroundings of home whilst receiving the additional support they need
Spend more time with loved ones
You’ll be able to choose when your family and friends visit, and your carer can assist with hosting duties – including getting your home spick and span
Remain in your community
Care at home gives you the opportunity to continue being part of your local community and maintain the lifestyle you enjoy in your own neighbourhood
Maintain routines and hobbies
Home care allows you to continue living life on your own terms, which includes keeping up all your favourite hobbies, routines and activities
