Community care

How we help people with disabilities

On this page:

Supporting adults and children with disabilities and additional needs to access the support they are entitled to from the social services or NHS.

If you or a family member has experienced an injury or a medical condition which is likely to have a significant impact on your ability to undertake everyday tasks, you may be eligible to receive support from social services or the NHS. This might be shorter-term support to assist with rehabilitation following an injury or medical procedure, or long-term support that is needed for the rest of your life.

What we do

Our community care specialists can provide advice on how to access support that you may be entitled to and may be able to assist you to challenge decisions made by social services or NHS bodies.

Issues that we may be able to assist you with include:

  • Securing care and support from a local authority
  • NHS Continuing Healthcare funding
  • Direct payments and personal budgets
  • Financial assessments and charges for care, including advice on the impact of a personal injury compensation award on the support that you are entitled to receive from social services or the NHS
  • Mental capacity and the Court of Protection

For more information about the sorts of issues our Community Care specialists can assist with, visit our dedicated web page here.

Alternatively, to learn more about our specialist community care services, please call us free on: 0800 124 4845 or email claimsadvice@boyesturner.com.

"Very gratefully received"

I just wanted to thank you not only for your professionalism but also for your compassion and support for Anja and Tom's situation. You have had a profound impact for Anja, giving hope where there was none. I am sure you will say you are just doing your job but the unexpected humanity you have displayed that is not normally received from lawyers has been very gratefully received.

Marcus

"I just wanted to say thank you"

You have taken all our concerns with our previous solicitor away and made us feel completely confident that Ben has the correct deputy in place. So many thanks from us all and you will be highly recommended by all of us for anybody's deputy. Both your self and Anne are so approachable and easy to talk to. 

Boyes Turner Client

"The biggest thank you "

Just would like to say the biggest thank you to you and Mary, Alexander, Charlotte, Georgie and the rest of the team who helped purchase the house for us! It is our dream house and the little one was so excited yesterday when I told her that we have now got the keys, and she cannot wait until Saturday when we finally move in. She loves the space there and was running around everywhere last night, and loves the fact that we can feed a mum fox and her two Cubs every night. So thankyou !! We really appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.

"Knowledgeable, organised, responsive, diligent, empathetic and human"

I deal with many legal firms during the course of my work and have found the Court of Protection team at Boyes Turner to be, 'simply the best'. Anne Pearson is the most consistently proficient and pleasant professional to work in partnership with. A clear focus of keeping the client at the centre of the work is always evident. I could not recommend her expertise and attitude more highly.

Heather Miller, Independant Case Management

"Beyond the call of duty "

It is a pleasure and a privilege to work with Anne Pearson, Senior Manager in Boyes Turner Solicitors’ Court of Protection team because she goes far beyond the call of duty to ensure that her vulnerable clients and their families are supported in the most difficult and distressing circumstances. Her professionalism is matched by her sincere care for her clients. Families facing the daunting process of applying to the Court of Protection to obtain Deputyship for a relative who has lost mental capacity could not receive better advice and support.
