What would your family actually pay at The Four Ferns?
Fair Deal doesn't charge you the €1,400/week sticker price. It works out a contribution from the person's own income and assets, and the HSE pays the rest of the approved price. The contribution is set by the means test, not by the home — so a dearer approved home does not, on its own, mean your family pays more.
