What exactly is the Fair Deal Scheme?

The Nursing Home Support Scheme (NHSS) is referred to as the Fair Deal Scheme. It is a state-funded financial support system administered by the Health Service Executive (HSE).

The Nursing Home Support Scheme Fair Deal is designed to support and help fund those in need of long-term nursing home care.

The Fair Deal makes nursing home care affordable for all when home care due to increasing care needs is no longer possible. The scheme is fair and is not designed to take your home and all your savings.
