Fair Deal Scheme may seem attractive for the asset rich and cash poor but applying for it is not as easy as you think. It takes immense patience to vet through the clauses before applying for Nursing Home Support Scheme. It’s not just caring appropriate to the needs of the individual that it caters to but bed and board, medication, therapeutic activities, aids and appliances. In a way, it’s a comprehensive arrangement by the Irish Government for the welfare and financial independence of the elderly residents seeking long-term nursing home care.
However, certain things are not included, and issues arise when you go ahead with the scheme only to realise the same long after you have applied for it. Take, for instance, cab rides to the hospitals or visits to a doctor’s chamber for an appointment, watching the Sky TV, spending on hairdressing, aromatherapy, physiotherapy and expending on personal care items etc. The scheme hardly covers them. To know in details, seek impartial advice from Fair Deal Advice, an advisory body offering guidance to all applicants!
