Types of care otherwise required
Rest home care
Rest home care is the level of care provided for the care and attention of people whose needs cannot be met in their own home with home-based services, generally because of their age-related needs. This relates to the full continuum of residential rest home care.
Residential disability care
Residential disability care is the level of care provided for the care and attention of children, young people and adults whose needs cannot be met in their own home with home-based services, generally because of their disability/impairment related needs.
Extended care services for severely disabled children and young people
Extended care is the level of care provided for the care and attention of a child or young person where the extent of their disability is such that suitable care can be provided only by an approved organisation or body. In some cases, the extended care arrangement may be an approved foster care placement.
This refers to only those services facilitated by Child, Youth and Family under Section 141 of the Children, Young Persons and Their Families Act (1989).
Hospital care
Hospital care is the level of care provided by a non-government organisation (NGO) or District Health Board (DHB) as in-patient or residential hospital care, including geriatric hospital-level care.
Hospital care exceeds the level of care provided if a person is solely under the care of a hospital specialist or receiving out-patient care.
