Lamora Healthcare is a nurse-led, CQC-registered specialist complex care provider delivering NHS Continuing Healthcare packages across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Luton, and nationwide for live-in care. Our nursing directors have direct clinical experience in the high-dependency presentations most commonly funded through CHC.
NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is a package of ongoing care funded entirely by the NHS for adults outside of hospital who have complex, significant, and unpredictable healthcare needs. It is arranged and funded by Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), previously known as Clinical Commissioning Groups.
Unlike care funded by local authorities, NHS CHC is not means-tested. Eligibility is determined solely by the nature and intensity of an individual's health needs — assessed using the NHS CHC Decision Support Tool and the Checklist. A primary health need must be established.
CHC packages are often the most clinically complex and highest-value packages in the community. They require providers with genuine clinical capability, robust governance, and the ability to collaborate effectively with NHS teams, multi-disciplinary teams, and case managers.
Our clinical model is designed specifically for the high-complexity, high-dependency presentations that typically attract NHS CHC eligibility.
Complex care at home for individuals with ABI resulting from stroke, trauma, hypoxia, or other causes. Management of cognitive, behavioural, communication, and physical sequelae. Live-in care packages available nationwide.
RMN-led care packages for individuals with complex, treatment-resistant, or high-risk mental health presentations including psychosis, personality disorder, and co-occurring substance misuse. Intensive community support as an alternative to inpatient admission.
High-dependency personal care for individuals with spinal cord injury, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, and other progressive neurological or physical conditions. Complex moving and handling, catheter care, skin integrity management.
Nurse-led palliative care enabling individuals to remain at home during the final stages of life. Fast Track CHC pathway supported — rapid mobilisation coordinated with community nursing, specialist palliative teams, and hospice at home services.
Rapid discharge-to-assess and discharge-to-rehabilitate packages for individuals leaving acute or community hospitals. Supports reduction in delayed transfer of care and prevents avoidable readmission. 24–72 hour mobilisation for urgent cases.
Complex care packages for adults with learning disabilities or autism whose health needs meet the CHC threshold. Behaviours that challenge, complex co-morbidities, and high personal care needs supported through a person-centred, rights-based approach.
