Rest homes provide for people whose needs have reached the point where it is no longer appropriate that they remain living in their own homes. Approximately 3-6% (with some cultural variation) of those aged over 65 years in New Zealand live in residential care. Some people less than 65 years of age with a disability or who require intensive or specialised nursing care may also live in residential care such as rest homes or private hospitals.

It is often difficult for those wishing to find more information on rest homes and the process involved in entering one to know where to start. In this section we have presented a summary of what's going on around Royal Heights and some answers to common questions andissues, particularly concerning subsidised care.
