Fair Deal scheme – property valuation required.

If you are trying to help a relative avail of the nursing homes “Fair Deal” scheme you will require a valuation of their residence to submit with the application. I know from personal experience that this can present a bit of a challenge. Elderly people in particular have concerns that their home is being sold from under them as soon as they see a property valuer at the door. Our valuation service in Dublin North City and County is prompt, efficient, accurate, and most importantly will be completed with a minimum of intrusion.

To arrange a valuation call John at 8330517 or 0878233784, or email me at john@craddock.ie

Nursing Homes Support Scheme - A Fair Deal
The Nursing Homes Support Scheme, A Fair Deal, began on the 27th October 2009. The purpose of the Scheme is to provide financial support for people assessed as needing long-term nursing home care. The scheme is founded on the core principles that long-term care should be affordable and that a person should receive the same level of State support whether they choose a public, voluntary or private nursing home. Since the 27th October 2009, the Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Fair Deal scheme) is the single funded means of accessing long-term nursing home care for all new entrants.
The Fair Deal Scheme is administered by the HSE.

The Government’s Fair Deal scheme is contributing to delayed discharges, which are clogging up hospitals, Cork University Hospital geriatrician Prof Cillian Twomey claimed at the IMO AGM last week.
“There’s now a delay in the moving of people out of hospitals, because of the application of the nursing home support scheme legislation,” Prof Twomey said.
