How much does it cost and can I get funding?
How do I get started? Is there a waiting list?
You will need to be assessed by Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand – Southern’s Aged Care Needs Assessment and Service Coordination (NASC) is a requirement of entry. The NASC assessment identifies your level of need for ongoing health care and support.
Once you have had this assessment, contact Aspiring Care and enquire about a room and organise a tour.
If you’re interested in Aspiring Care, fill out our application form and we will contact you about wait times (if there are any).
What happens in the transition process?
Moving from your current home will require some planning and preparation. Allow yourself time for this transition. Your Aspiring Care home and its residents will have a lot of information and advice to share about local services that can assist you with the practicalities of moving. Please ask us.
What should I bring?
