Residents of Beaumont Residential Care and their families were told at a meeting on Wednesday night of the home’s decision to opt out of Fair Deal from the end of May.
“We are deeply aware of the profound impact of this decision on the residents and their loved ones, who because of the approach of the National Treatment Purchase Fund [NTPF] are no longer covered by the Fair Deal scheme,” Stuart Murphy, chief executive of CareChoice, told The Irish Times.
He said: “We do not want to see that happen and will be trying to resolve this situation with the NTPF and HSE [Health Service Executive] in the meantime.” Mr Murphy said the gap between the funding provided by the NTPF and the actual cost of caring for residents has been widening due to cost of living increases across the economy.
