Pricing

Prospective residents may apply to the HSE for part funding under the Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Fair Deal) which provides financial support for people who need long-term nursing home care (see Application Form and Information Booklet under Links section). Under the Fair Deal Scheme, qualifying residents will make a contribution towards the cost of your care and the State will pay the balance. This applies whether the nursing home is public, private or voluntary – it’s the resident’s choice. Ideally, an application should be made well in advance of admission to the home and details on entitlements should be discussed directly with the HSE.

With effect from 1 June 2020, Beaumont Residential Care’s weekly room charge for residents participating in the Fair Deal scheme is set at €1,060 per week plus a further €40 (€45 for East Wing Residents) per week nursing home service charge, making a total weekly charge of €1,100 (€1,105 for East Wing residents). Corresponding rates for residents paying privately are €1,180 per week, and €1,285 per week for our East Wing specialist dementia unit. The rate for short term convalescent and respite care is €1,250 per week.

Importantly, the full cost of the room will be invoiced to the resident monthly in advance (on the 1st day of every month) with credit for “HSE monies to come” if applicable shown on a separate attached statement. As long as HSE funding remains in place the resident’s ongoing monthly contribution will be as agreed with the HSE, plus the nursing home service charge (see Nursing Homes Ireland’s guide on nursing home charges, Nursing Home Charges for Fair Deal Residents, July 2017). Any change to the resident’s funding arrangements must be communicated to the nursing home at least one month in advance.
