'We were advised by WBW Chartered Financial Planners of Newton Abbot to contact Anne Reed of Chilcotts Law when our dad was told he had to move from his present Care home as they could no longer cope with his dementia. It was recommended that Anne could help with this process and would also try and secure funding for dad's care as the severity of his dementia entitled him to financial support. WBW Chartered Financial Planners said Anne was the most experienced and best person in the UK. How true they were. As soon as we made contact with Anne, the wheels were set in motion at a very fast pace. Even though lots of homes refused to take dad because of his complex needs, Anne never gave up; her passion for supporting the elderly and vulnerable people to access the best care was evident. She made numerous phone calls on behalf of the family, enquiring as to whether they would take dad and always questioning the quality of the care that would be provided. Anne used her vast clinical experience and comprehensive understanding of the NHS to support us, also providing alternative ideas as to where dad might be able to live happily and safely. Anne understood how difficult things had become and really did care about how these circumstances were impacting on dad and our family. Finally, Anne helped secure a new dementia specialist care home place for dad; it is an exceptional place and we have been very pleased with how well dad has settled in and how well he is cared for. Simultaneously, Anne commenced the complex process of applying for full CHC funding. Anne made sure the people she contacted acted quickly and pressed them if they did not. She was not afraid to challenge people and the system, using her excellent understanding of the funding process and her exceptional communication skills. Anne has, after an immense amount of hard work and dogged determination, succeeded in getting full funding for dads care, as well as securing backdated monies. Throughout this process, Anne has replied back to emails and telephone calls immediately and nothing was ever too much bother. Anne explained the process of the application of applying for funding thoroughly and supported us all of the way. Anne prepared all paperwork, liaised with relevant parties and organised a key meeting to discuss dad's needs and as a result, secure a positive outcome. We have no doubt if we had not employed Anne's services, we would have been unsuccessful in gaining the funding. We would also like to mention that whenever we have phoned the office, the secretaries/PA were also extremely professional, polite, helpful and attentive. If you require help and advice to support someone you love who has to go into care, we would not hesitate to recommend Chilcott Law and specifically Anne Reed. Reading Anne Reeds profile, found on the website, with its impressive account of her qualifications and career experiences, will not fail to assure anyone looking for support in this area. It is an absolute truth that she is an experienced, driven advocate who really does care about the people she is serving.'

Also we were shown the utmost patience and understanding with problems we were having. We wish to thank the Chilcotts Law staff again and repeat that their assistance could not have been improved'.

"This was our second experience of working with Adam Jewels - previously he had assisted with our house sale and, in recent months the purchase of our new property. We can unhesitatingly recommend Adam's work - the attention to detail, persistence and calmness under fire eased the difficult and tortuous process of house purchase. All queries were rapidly dealt with and we always - and we mean always - had a rapid response. Technicalities were patiently explained and his pre-emptive interventions probably saved us - and the vendors - a great deal of time. A really great experience."

“With Anne’s help, we have now been granted CHC funding for four and a half out of five years. We have no doubt that without her help we would have achieved nothing and the whole exercise would have been completely futile. Our only regret is that we did not approach her sooner.”

"David Wilde was totally brilliant in all the advice that he gave me during this stressful period. It was really reassuring that I could ask his advice on my responsibilities as executor of my mothers will and the sale of her house.

“My belief is that Anne is respected in many areas of CHC organisations as a person who fights for what is right and not for spurious claims."

"We felt that this was far more than a job to her, it was a personal crusade for justice for my Mum who was a frail old lady. We cannot recommend Anne Reed highly enough."
