What some of our Clients have said

CASE HISTORY

Our mother went into a nursing home in February 2007 but, although she was very poorly and required a great deal of health care, the local Primary Care Trust refused to fund her placement. We were unhappy about this as we had read that, where someone needed care because of their health, this should be free on the NHS just as though they were in hospital.

We felt very strongly about this and decided to find a specialist lawyer who could represent mum. Fortunately we were introduced to Robert Campbell of Robert Campbell & Associates, a firm of solicitors specialising in healthcare law and particularly Continuing Care claims.

Having conducted an initial assessment without charge Robert took over the case on his firm’s special fixed fee scheme and we were delighted when in August 2007 the Trust finally confirmed mum’s eligibility for a fully funded NHS Continuing Care package.

Sadly mum passed away but, although the Trust has refunded us £11000 paid in care home fees, we have asked Robert to pursue a claim to recover the £6,500 paid out in home care fees prior to mum’s admission to the care home as we believe mum was eligible right from the day she required care.

We are most grateful for Robert’s help and support. Very few solicitors know of this area of law which is complex and requires specialist input. We would have no hesitation in recommending Robert Campbell & Associates’ services to anyone else in a similar position to ourselves.

Testimonial Re: Application for NHS continuing care funding.

Our father was discharged from hospital into a private nursing home at the cost of some £30,000.00 per annum. The NHS refused to take responsibility for this, which he was having to pay himself

The family believed that dad’s care ought to be the responsibility of the NHS as his main need for care was in our view undoubtedly a health need although of course he also needed looking after generally.

We therefore instructed specialist solicitor Robert Campbell of Robert Campbell & Company to pursue the matter under his firm’s capped fee scheme. We first undertook a free on-line assessment and the outcome was encouraging. We then provided Robert with all the necessary information and he took up the battle for us.

I am delighted to say that Robert Campbell and Associates’ skill and expertise have won the day for us and the NHS have now accepted the responsibility for dad’s care fees. The family feel themselves very lucky to have found a firm of Robert Campbell and Associates’ calibre to assist them in this highly complex and specialist area and would recommend them unreservedly to others in similar situations. We are most grateful for an important job well done!
