New Zealand provides for a Residential Care Subsidy (RCS) for those that are eligible. Eligibility criteria and the application process is determined by WINZ. This process should be commenced as quickly as possible, as WINZ impose backdated time limitations click on this link or on the link at the bottom of the page.

If residents are eligible for a RCS, NZ Super will be a part of that RCS and WINZ will redirect most of your NZ Super to Aroha.
