Many nursing homes have both a "fair deal rate" and a "private rate", which can be up to €200/week higher.
The fair deal scheme allows for someone to apply for the loan ('ancillary state support') even if not eligible for any subsidy ('state support').
This would seem to imply that there is an incentive to apply for the loan just in order to avail of the fair deal rate instead of the private rate, saving up to €10,000 a year (if not eligible for any subsidy).
Does anyone have any experience or views on this?
