Farming families to get some relief as crippling nursing homes costs to be capped under new Fair Deal rules
Thousands of farming families who place elderly relatives in nursing homes will see crippling costs capped after three years under new Fair Deal rules changes to be backed by cabinet tomorrow.
The decision to limit the cost of care for elderly people is expected to be rubber-stamped at the weekly ministerial meeting in the morning as part of a €10m plan to address fears that families are delaying seeking help because of the financial impact involved.
