NHS continuing healthcare and ICB involvement

NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board is the NHS route for Continuing Healthcare decisions across this area. CHC is separate from ordinary council-funded social care and depends on primary health need.

Hospital discharge and reablement

Hospital discharge planning usually involves NHS discharge teams, community health services, local authority reablement, and family decisions about safe care at home.

Community nursing and therapy support

Community nursing and therapy services are arranged through local NHS pathways; Care Near Me can help families compare regulated care providers alongside that clinical support.

Palliative and end-of-life care

For palliative or end-of-life care, the ICB area may involve GPs, community nursing, hospices, and specialist teams. Care Near Me helps with regulated home care options where extra practical support is needed.

How councils and the NHS work together

Local councils remain responsible for most adult social care assessments and means-tested support. NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board is involved where NHS commissioning, discharge, community services, or health-funded pathways apply.

Where Care Near Me fits

Care Near Me is not an NHS provider and does not make funding decisions. We help families compare CQC-registered care providers and prepare the practical questions to ask local NHS or council teams.
