According to the FD guidelines someone needing nursing home care is exempt from contributing 7.5% of the value of their family home to the cost of their care if they have already been in a nursing home for 3 years before applying for FD. If the person then qualifies for FD, because savings run down, and the family home is subsequently sold is the person then liable to contribute 7.5% of the net proceeds of the sale of the house to the cost of their care ?
