What it costs
Standard room: capped at $1,557.29 a week in the Balclutha South area from 1 July 2026 (the Ministry of Health's maximum contribution), source.
The Balclutha South area is a rural area the Ministry caps separately from Clutha District ($1,513.33 a week). We placed this home in it by its town.
We matched this home to Clutha District by its town, Balclutha. Health New Zealand tells each home the rate that applies to it, so ask the home to confirm.
Premium rooms
Not published. The operator's page for this home gives no premium room charge, read 15 and 16 October 2026, so ask the home for it in writing.
The cap is what a standard room costs, whether you pay yourself or the Residential Care Subsidy pays, and it is the same for rest home, hospital and dementia care. Premium rooms and care suites cost more, and most homes do not publish those extra charges, so ask for them in writing. How care home prices work.
Some people qualify for the Residential Care Subsidy (government help with the cost of long-term care), which is means-tested and assessed by Work and Income. Who qualifies.
