Paying for Drakelands House Nursing Home with Fair Deal
Drakelands House Nursing Home is a nursing home in Kilkenny. 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.
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: 056 7770925.
