Day Care for Older People - Greater Auckland (May 2009).

This listing is for caregivers requiring day care for a dependent older person. The information is
arranged in broad geographical areas: Central, West, North and South Auckland to help guide
your search. All prices include GST. For further information contact us or view our website
www.adhb.govt.nz/rcline.

Many rest homes and long-term care hospitals will accept a day stay client on an informal
basis. The cost of day care ranges from $10 to $56 per day.

There is a separate listing for more independent older people called Activities for Older People
available from Seniorline.

Subsidies
Carer Support Subsidy can be used to help with fees where the day stay is used to provide a
rest for a caregiver. Eligibility for this subsidy is assessed by the Needs Assessment and
Service Coordination service (NASC) contracted to your local District Health Board.
Disability Allowance up to $55.88 a week may apply. It is income tested.

Free day care is available for people with a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's. Day
programmes contracted for this type of service are limited. Needs Assessment and Service
Co-ordination assess and authorise the subsidy.
