Thank you so much Des for that document. Yes it was a public one. As in run by the HSE. We did know that, but I'd no idea there are published amounts per month per care home. Around 2K +/- it looks like for 2024. In general. I'm actually just trying to get to grips with how the Fair Deal is calculated, my relatives all have varying ideas about it, but nobody can do me a calculation.Usually you would be invoiced from and pay your assessed amount and any extras directly to a private nursing home.
Under Fair Deal, your relation could also have been in a public nursing home which are run by the HSE, it might explain why invoices were from and paid to the HSE. There is a list here;
Yes I phoned today, but the lady in charge is not there today, I'll ring back again.Have you contacted the local nursing home support office,. we found them very good in the past (our issue was not as complicated as yours though)
The amounts quoted are weekly not monthly.We did know that, but I'd no idea there are published amounts per month per care home. Around 2K +/- it looks like for 2024.
LOL. I thought they seemed cheap. So it's about 100K per annum.The amounts quoted are weekly not monthly.
Yes you pay your assessed amount, the HSE pay the balance.Is the 'assessed' amount the calculation they do based on your old home value, income (pension, dividends, rents) and other assets (property, shares. ,money in bank) - minus the 36K first. ANd you take the 'general' 2 K cost, the HSE does a calculation, and you are liable for that amount then.
