Common use of Funding Arrangements Clause in Contracts

Funding Arrangements. 2.1. If a CCG assesses that you are eligible for CHC funding, the CCG is responsible for locating a placement suitable to meet your assessed needs and for funding that placement. 2.2. The CCG may determine that other care home establishments are suitable to meet your care requirements. If the alternate care home(s) the CCG identifies are of a lower cost to the rate charged by us, the CCG may refuse to fund all of our required rate. The CCG will almost certainly refuse to fund all of our required rate if you wish to select a better standard room in the care home than the standard of room for which the CCG is prepared to pay. 2.3. Current regulations suggest that in general you or anyone else paying the difference between the rate the CCG offers us and the private rate we normally require would be unlawful. It may however be permissible for you or someone else to agree to pay the difference between the rate the CCG are prepared to pay for a standard room and our higher rate for (if available) a higher quality, non-standard room you may wish to occupy. The Home may also have facilities and care and other services which are above and beyond those the CCG have contracted us to supply for you. We refer to such non-standard room and additional services or facilities as ‘Lifestyle Choice Items’ and our charges for them as ‘Lifestyle Choice Top-Up fees’, and if you wished to be supplied with any Lifestyle Choice Items, we would need to specify those and the fees for them in a separate contract to be entered into with you or anyone else who might be prepared to pay for Lifestyle Choice Items .
