You will find it very difficult to get the benefit of the Fair Deal scheme if the person is already in a nursing home. The approval must be secured first.
Easter is correct. If a person needs to be admitted to a nursing home urgently, an application for FD can be submitted and, if approved, FD can be backdated to date of entry.
Apart from people who can afford to pay cash i have heard of people going into nursing homes without the Fair deal and am wondering how this is possible.
My mother is in a home in south Dublin and we are paying 7,500 a month. Crazy costs. We are depleting down her savings before we apply for Fair Deal.
Has anyone experience of the Fair Deal and other assets, like a car, or another property. I know they go back 5 yrs but what happens say if they can no longer drive and the car is transferred to say a child in the time. So they look for 7.5% the value of the car, when they entered the FD.
