Hi can anyone tell me, on average, what's the waiting list to be assessed under the nursing home fair deal scheme? And if a son took over a farm and has it in his own name the last 2 years, does the son only pay 7.5% of its value for 3 years only? As I read there's an exemption in farm/business takeover by a family member? Thanks
 
My relative was in hospital for a few months in 2012. Fair Deal took about 2 months for approval and then it was a matter of waiting in hospital for a vacancy in a nursing/care facility. Quality and locations vary, so draw up a list of preferred nursing homes. If you accept your number 5 choice for example, you will still be notified of any vacancies above that as they arise, and the person can move nursing homes no problem.

I don't know the ins and outs of the farm implications.
