Residential Care Subsidy
For those who are eligible, the New Zealand government offers a residential care subsidy. This helps to cover rest home costs, and the amount will depend on your income and assets.
There are several factors which determine whether you are eligible for the subsidy, including whether you have completed a needs assessment. This assessment confirms whether you require permanent residential care.
For a high-level overview of the financial support available, read our article on how the residential care subsidy works in New Zealand.
Needs assessment
A needs assessment helps to determine a person’s requirements for support services and whether they meet the criteria for long-term residential care. Needs assessments are performed by a DHB-approved assessor.
