What is included in the Nursing Home Support Scheme Fair Deal?

The Fair Deal Scheme covers essential care needs, which include:  

• Bed and board 

• Food  

• Personal assistance and nursing  

• Laundry  

• Essential aids and equipment to assist you with daily living activities. 

• Products and services available under Drugs Payment Scheme and state medical cards  

The Fair Deal primarily covers basic care needs. Common requirements like hairdressing chiropody and physiotherapy services and other therapeutic services are charged as extras by the Nursing Home as well as a charge for entertainment and activities. Our advisory service is an excellent resource to help you plan and budget for your additional care costs that are not covered under the fair deal funding.
