FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Understanding the "Fair Deal" scheme The Nursing Homes Support Scheme, or “Fair Deal” is a method of paying for nursing home care available to you. Anyone who needs long term nursing home care can apply. You must be ordinarily a resident in the state ie: living here for at least 1 year. The Nursing Homes Support Scheme does not make a distinction on age grounds. To apply for the Fair Deal Scheme, ask our Administrator for the application form. The applications process has two parts a) a Care Needs Assessment -This assessment is carried out by a healthcare professionals (eg a nurse, doctor, social worker) who consider whether a person needs nursing home care or whether they can be supported to continue living at home. b) Financial Assessment - The HSE looks at the applicant’s income and assets to work out what they can contribute to their care. Your contribution will be 80% of your income and 5% of the value of any assets per annum. The HSE pays the balance of the cost of care. This is called State support. Nursing Home Loan Sometimes a person’s assets are tied up in land and property, including their principal residence which is not being sold. Your contribution on these assets may be deferred. This means that you do not have to find the money to pay this contribution during your lifetime. Instead, if approved, the HSE will pay the money to the nursing home on your behalf and it will be collected upon death. This is an optional benefit of the scheme. It is effectively a loan advanced by the State which can be repaid at any time but will ultimately fall due for repayment upon death. Its purpose is to ensure that you don’t have to sell assets such as your house during your lifetime. Your Rights - Choosing Your Nursing Home The HSE provide each approved applicant with a list of all approved nursing homes – private, public and voluntary. Legislation says that the choice of nursing home is the decision of the applicant and/or their family. You can choose any nursing home on the list, subject to the following 2 conditions: 1. The home must be able to cater to your needs. 2. The home must have a place available. Once your nursing home is confirmed, you pay your contribution to the nursing home and the HSE pays the balance to the nursing home. Important to know about the fair deal scheme It is important to remember that the Fair Deal only covers the cost of bed and board and nursing care. The National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) documentation makes it clear that the fair deal specifically excludes social programmes, therapies, dental treatments, chiropody and other programmes.
