Understanding the Fair Deal Nursing Home Scheme in Ireland: A Comprehensive Guide

The Fair Deal Nursing Home Scheme is a government initiative in Ireland designed to make long-term nursing home care affordable. It assesses your income and assets to determine how much you contribute, with the government covering the rest.

Applicants pay 80% of their income and 7.5% of their assets annually, with the family home included for only the first three years. The scheme also offers a Nursing Home Loan (Ancillary State Support) for those unable to pay upfront.

To qualify, you must complete a Care Needs and Financial Assessment. The scheme applies to public and private nursing homes registered with HIQA.

With predictable costs and financial support, the Fair Deal Scheme provides peace of mind for families. For guidance on the application process or to learn more, reach out to Fair Deal Advice.
