Caring support
I approached Farley Dwek for help in securing Continuing Health Care Funding for my husband who has advanced dementia. My first conversation with the solicitor was friendly and supportive , I was directed to extremely helpful free literature on their sister website and information on the services they offer and prices were emailed to me as well as a link to the free advice. No pressure was put on me to secure their services. Having been told by various health professionals that CHCF for dementia is particularly hard to secure and read the free information about the assessment process to secure funding I decided I wanted the additional support of a nurse to advocate for my husband. This is one of the services offered by FD . One of their nurse was appointed ted to help us. She had vast experience of the CHCF system and had previously worked as an assessing nurse for the NHS. The weekend before the scheduled assessment the nurse spent two hours taking me through a mock assessment and gathering as much information as she could about my husband. I was reassured and was able to confidently explain our case at the actual meeting with the advocate nurse beside me. She was invaluable dipping into the conversation occasionally to clarify what was the understanding of the meeting on a particular point, or challenging aspects of care and ensuring correct protocol was followed. The outcome my husband was awarded CHCF and most of the fees already paid were recovered.
Everyone I talked with at the firm were caring , understanding , knowledgeable and professional. Every promise to get in touch, get back with information was kept in a timely and efficient manner. Superb service.

CHC received
Both my sister and I are most grateful to the Farley Dwek team for their assistance in helping the family to obtain CHC for our 93 year old mother who suffers from severe dementia. We chose to engage Farley's for mum's initial DST, (Rather than an appeal of decision) anyone who has gone through the process will understand how stressful the process is, and that certain barriers need to be overcome through the process. Our Nurse advocate was Carla, and her knowledge shone through in certain domains that proved to be the salient areas of our positive outcome. She was prepared to debate certain individuals during the DST meeting that proved decisive. Thank you FARLEYS!

A sound investment!
i had researched a number of firms offering assistance to help secure CHC funding for our Mum. I was very glad I chose Farley Dwek. Both my brother and I are retired solicitors and are able plough our way through regulatory material and legislation, However, neither of us had any experience in this area of law.
I really appreciated Farley Dwek's transparent and sensible advice. I would recommend doing the initial screening exercise with one of their nurses, we had the excellent Diane Jenkins for screening (and eventual support at the MDT). The cost for us was reasonable, around £300 if I recall, and could ultimately save you money if the advice is not too proceed. Another benefit of participating in the screening exercise is that it allows you to become more familiar with the 12 domains before you actually participate in the MDT.
We were successful in securing CHC funding for Mum but sadly for us she passed away 8 weeks after the MDT. We don't regret instructing Farley Dwek and despite Mums passing away so soon. It was very helpful to have experts help guide us through the process. I live in the Middle East and appreciated the fact the Andrew Farley called me a couple of times to discuss the case.

Dear Amber. thank you for your lovely comments in appreciation of our services. The Nurse Advice Line offers quality time with a specialist CHC nurse at an affordable fixed rate. We are pleased that you found Diane's feedback helpful and that we were then able to support you at the MDT and achieve a successful outcome. With best wishes, Farley Dwek Solicitors

NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding
Throughout the process, Farley Dwek were professional and supportive. Diane Jenkins, our
Independent Continuing Healthcare Practitioner, was very knowledgeable and kind and was incredibly thorough in her write up of my mother's case. The process can be emotionally fraught and I was so grateful for her guidance. I'm not sure we could have done it without Farley Dwek!

Dear Clara, we are grateful to you for your complimentary comments and review of our professional services. It was our pleasure to provide you with our Clinical Review Service and then support you at the MDT assessment. As you say, the MDT can be emotionally fraught and daunting. The stakes are high as this is usually the first real opportunity to seek eligibility for CHC funding, so it is vitally important to put your best case forward. We shall, of course, pass on your thanks to Diane and the rest of our CHC Team. Kind regards, Farley Dwek Solicitors

What a Result - Thank You Team Farley Dwek
Over the last few months it has been my pleasure to work with the team at Farley Dwek Solicitors and in particular Debbie Payton. I chose the company following a need to appeal a negative decision in terms of Continuous Health Care provisioning. I purchased their book which was written is straight forward language and would highly recommend it as a source of information to truly understand the way the system assesses our loved ones.
Having looked at the reviews on line I made the right choice in appointing Farley Dwek to represent us. They were professional, tenacious at gathering and reviewing all the evidence and then putting forward an extremely strong and detailed appeal. Spearheaded by Debbie the paperwork was submitted and the negative decision was overturned.
This is a life changer for us as it removes the stress and the unfairness in the system in terms of recognising where a primary health need is evidently present. Debbie kept me sane and positive and was a pleasure to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend this firm

CHC Funding
I received perfect service at very short notice in respect of a reassessment of my mother's funding at the end of a period on Fast Track (end of life) CHC funding. I had a consultaion by telephone for in excess of two hours with an expert and well experienced nurse assessor, who then attended the reassessment meeting remotely and assisted hugely. She brought to the meeting a level of insight and expertise that I lacked and her friendly and collaborative approach was just right. As a result, and contrary to what I had been expecting, my mother has been given CHC funding. This will be hugely beneficial to her and is a great relief to me. The legal fee was a very sound investment. Inclusive of VAT it equated to the cost of just six days of my mother's care.

Sanity savers
Battling an unfair CHC system for several years whilst looking after a very ill husband on my own at home left me at the lowest ebb.
Finally I decided to pay for help and how I wish I had done this earlier .
The support and expertise from Andrew, Gill and Alex was excellent Things we just knew were wrong were proved to be so Four years after our first DST we were awarded CHC funding
The company respected our decision to appeal the previous year ourselves and we were awarded that .
Finally we asked them to look at tge earlier period They could have taken our money but instead guided us to see if it was a case worth fighting , which it was not .

Dear Christine, thank you for posting your review, which is much appreciated. Even though we could not help you on this occasion, as solicitors we are guided by professional ethics and will always tell a client straight if we cannot help them or a claim is commercially unviable to pursue to save them incurring fees unnecessarily, when it's not in their best interests to do so. Pleased that we were able to guide you and were of benefit. Kind regards, Farley Dwek Solicitors

CHC funding appeal. An excellent service.
From the moment I contacted Farley Dwek and spoke to Andrew Farley up until the successful outcome of my father's CHC funding appeal, this company have been everything we had hoped for and more. Having their own nurse to carry out the assessment really gave us confidence from the start. We feel that the nurse, Diane Jenkins, did a thorough, in-depth and accurate assessment of my health father's needs. Debbie Payton, Senior Case Manager/ Legal Advisor has worked tirelessly throughout the process to ensure the case was represented in an accurate, professional and timely way. Debbie's communication has been excellent. She has kept us fully informed throughout the process and has always responded very promptly to any questions and queries with a warm, friendly manner. This company are clear that they will only take the case on if they believe they will win so they are not in it just to take your money. If the situation changes as information comes to light, they will let you know. I really feel that Debbie cared about getting the right outcome for my father and for us. She did everything she promised to do along the way and we cannot speak highly enough of her. We would thoroughly recommend Farley Dwek as an organisation and Debbie Payton in particular. We feel that all that she has achieved on behalf of my father is worth every penny and we believe we could not have got this outcome without her. We cannot thank Debbie enough.
