A three-year cap on the financial contributions of family owned and operated farms or businesses, when calculating the cost for nursing home care, is being introduced by the Government.
It will apply where a family successor commits to working the farm or business.
The amendment to the Nursing Homes Support Scheme, commonly known as Fair Deal, was announced today by Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly and Minister of State for Older People Mary Butler.
Under Fair Deal, residents make contributions to their care based on a financial assessment of their income and assets.
