Paying for Lake House Nursing Home with Fair Deal
Lake House Nursing Home is a nursing home in Donegal. It is approved under the HSE Fair Deal Scheme (the Nursing Homes Support Scheme), so you can use Fair Deal support towards the cost of care here.
Under Fair Deal you don't pay the home's full weekly rate yourself. Instead you pay a means-tested contribution — broadly 80% of your assessable income plus 7.5% of the value of your assets each year, with the value of your home capped after three years in care — and the State pays the balance up to the home's agreed rate. So while Lake House Nursing Home's indicative rate is around €1,212 a week, what you personally pay depends on your own income and assets, not the headline rate.
The best way to see your own number is to estimate your weekly Fair Deal contribution, then fill in the HSE application form online.
To ask about availability or rates, contact the home directly: 074 9136197.
