How would your home fare under the Fair Deal scheme designed to ensure older people can afford nursing home care should they need it? The more valuable your house, the more you may pay for nursing home care under the scheme. So how does it work, and what does it mean for your home? The Fair Deal scheme provides financial support for long-term nursing home care. The cost of such care is substantial and, under the scheme, your finances are assessed as to how much of a contribution you can make.
