Should the individual referred to by the Deputy wish to return to Ireland to nursing home care, he would have to satisfy the HSE that he is ordinarily resident in the State in order to apply for financial support under the Nursing Homes Support Scheme. Ordinarily resident means that you have been living in Ireland for at least a year or that you intend to live in Ireland for at least a year. Should he wish to enquire about options other than nursing home care, he should, in the first instance, contact the HSE. Their information line is open from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Saturday. The number is 1850 24 1850. They can also be contacted by email at infoline1@hse.ie.mailto:infoline1@hse.ie
