When does the NHS pay for care?
This booklet has been produced by Alzheimer's Society and is also supported by Age Concern, Help the Aged and the Royal College of Nursing. It contains guidance on eligibility for continuing NHS health care funding in England and how to appeal if it is not awarded.

Have you been paying for care?
As part of our campaign for an end to the unfair system of charging for care, we are encouraging people to examine whether they have been wrongly charged for care and, if so, to seek redress. This leaflet explains how to do so.

Putting care right
Taking the decision to move to a care home will always be a difficult one, for the person with dementia and their family. But it can be easier if you are armed with the right information. This booklet can help people facing that kind of decision by setting out what issues to consider and questions to ask.
