Before you phone

Fair Deal explainedHow the Nursing Homes Support Scheme works: the 80% of income and 7.5% of assets contribution, the €36,000 asset disregard, couples, the 3-year cap on your home, and how to apply.
Full costs and extrasWhat the Fair Deal price covers, the extra weekly charges homes add for activities and services, your rights under the contract of care, and tax relief on fees.
Choosing at short noticeA practical plan for finding a nursing home bed in days rather than weeks: who to phone, what to ask, what to check in the HIQA report, and how to move later.
Reading a HIQA reportWhat HIQA inspects, what compliant, substantially compliant and not compliant mean, the yellow, orange and red risk ratings, and the parts of a report worth reading first.
