Rest Homes

Residential Care Subsidy
Depending on your eligibility, the government offers a residential care subsidy to help cover rest home costs. Your level of support will depend on your income and assets.
Eligibility depends on age, financial status, whether your chosen rest home is contracted to the DHB and whether you have completed a needs assessment. A needs assessment confirms whether you require permanent residential care.
