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.
