Are they eligible for the Fair Deal Nursing Home Scheme? And if so, how much will they pay per week?
Yes, your elderly relative is eligible, in the case you have outlined; their contribution will be 80% of their €230.00 income, which is €184.00.

How do the weekly/monthly payments work out? I have just got a letter to say the weekly amount will be,so I thought xamount by 4...but it works out a little more than that.I am hoping to talk to someone next week about it,but in the meantime,I am just wondering
There is one thing that I would strongly recommend. You or whoever will be paying the HSE on behalf of the relative should create a direct debit to equalize the monthly payment.
From my own experience with my parents, HSE invoices were not issued with any regularity. Therefore, you could have no bill in some months and huge bills in others.

Thank you all for the replies.I should be getting a bill this week,as my Mother was there a month on June 2.Its all new to me.
Both nursing homes I deal with issue their invoices for each calendar month.
Where your contribution is assessed as say €350.00 weekly, that’s €50.00 daily.
Februarys invoice would be 28 days @ €50.00, April would be 30 days @ €50.00, May would be 31 days @ €50.00 etc.
I’m familiar with another nursing home that multiplies the daily rate by 365, divides this by 12, and a standing order is set up for this fixed amount each month.
Extras are invoiced separately every 3 months and paid by cheque.
