Assessment for hospital and rest home level careIf you believe you or your loved one can no longer live

at home with the current support, the first step is to

apply for a needs assessment from the District Health

Board. To start the process, simply visit your GP to

ask for a needs assessment. A needs assessment will

determine the level of care that is required and if the

care is short term or on-going.

Respite care and health recovery optionsIf you are caring for an older person and need a break,

POWLEY offers short term respite care. We also offer

health recovery and rehabilitation. Please talk to your

GP as care may be funded by your District Health

Board. Alternatively it can be directly arranged with us

and privately funded.

Can I apply for financial help?Yes, if you are 65 or over and your ‘support needs

assessment’ confirms that you may be eligible for

government financial assistance. Work and Income

New Zealand will have all the information required and

can explain what assistance is available and eligibility

criteria. Please call 0800 559 009 or if you prefer, we

can assist you with this process.

When you need full time care or assisted living, all you

really want to know is that you are in the best of hands.
