Navigating the Fair Deal Scheme: Support for Long-Term Care

Planning for long-term care is a vital consideration for many families. The Fair Deal Scheme (officially known as the Nursing Homes Support Scheme) is a government initiative designed to make nursing home care more affordable by providing financial support based on personal means.

This webinar will guide you through the essentials of the Fair Deal Scheme, covering what costs it includes, how contributions are calculated, and the application process. Whether you are considering care options for yourself or a loved one, this session will provide clarity and practical advice to help you plan with confidence. Join us for an informative and supportive session aimed at demystifying this vital aspect of elder care planning.
