What it costs
Standard room: capped at $1,557.29 a week in the Palmerston area from 1 July 2026 (the Ministry of Health's maximum contribution), source.
The Palmerston area is a rural area the Ministry caps separately from Waitaki District ($1,513.33 a week). We placed this home in it by its town.
We matched this home to Waitaki District by its town, Palmerston. Health New Zealand tells each home the rate that applies to it, so ask the home to confirm.
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 Premium rooms and care suites cost more, and most homes do not publish those extra charges, so ask for them in writing.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.
