Help with Assessment & Funding
For many, a first step towards determining the most appropriate type of care is to determine the level of funding to which you or your loved one may be entitled to. Assessment by the South Canterbury District Health Board’s Aged Care Needs Assessment and Support Services for Older People: What you need to know (NASC) will identify the level of need and funding for ongoing health care and support.
The next step is to sit down with you to discuss the options, helping you to put together a plan that meets your needs and helps you reach your own goals. We will then work alongside you to bring your plan together, with top-quality support from our caring, experienced and well qualified staff.
