[nx_spoiler title=”Is there financial assistance to help with the cost of residential care?” style=”fancy” icon=”arrow-circle-1″]

The Residential Care Subsidy may be available if you:

  • have been assessed by a Needs Assessment Service Coordination agency (NASC) as needing long term residential care and
  • choose a rest home such as Fraser Manor which has a contract with the BOP District Health Board
  • meet the income and asset test.

If you qualify for the subsidy, you will still need to contribute towards the cost of your care (e.g. from your NZ Superannuation), but the subsidy will make up the difference and is paid directly to the rest home or hospital.

Note that your family home (where you normally live) is usually included in the asset test unless your partner (who does not require residential care) or dependent child still lives there (more about this here).

More information about income and asset testing for the Residential Care Subsidy is on the Ministry of Health website and the Work and Income website.

It’s worth noting that even if you do not pass the eligibility criteria for the Residential Care Subsidy when you first move into a rest home, you can apply again if your financial circumstances change (e.g. if your savings decrease after having paid for your care for a period of time).
