Summerset care packages
Summerset care centre
In a Summerset care centre, you’ll have the choice of a standard, premium or deluxe room, with nursing care available on site, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Rooms in the care centre are spacious and will accommodate a comfortable chair and other small items of furniture. Sky TV and a phone can be added at an additional cost. Care rooms come with an ensuite bathroom including accessible shower, grab rails and non-slip floors. Summerset care centres are certified by the Ministry of Health to provide rest home and hospital-level care.
Care can be paid for privately or be partially or fully subsidised by the Government. Before moving in:
A NASC assessment will determine the level of care you will require. If you’ve been assessed by NASC as needing rest home–level or hospital level care, an assessment by WINZ will determine if you’re eligible for a residential care subsidy. The subsidy you are eligible for is subject to asset and income testing and is determined by Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ). Premium and deluxe rooms will attract a private surcharge. Costs of Hospital and Rest Home care vary from village to village and District Health Board Region. You can talk to your Care Centre Manager about the costs of living in a Summerset care centre – they’ll be happy to answer all your
questions and provide full details. While at the village
you will pay:
The local District Health Board (DHB) determines the daily rate for rest home or hospital care. This may be subsidised by the Government through a residential care subsidy and is invoiced monthly. A surcharge for premium or deluxe rooms. Any fees for user-pays services you choose to receive e.g. phone and internet. This fee is based on what you use.
