Review - partner enters care

When the partner of a person who has been means assessed becomes a resident assessed as requiring care, you must complete a review of the person's financial means assessment as at the date the partner entered care.

Note that a review of financial means assessment must be done regardless of whether the client is receiving a subsidy or a loan or is a private payer.

A form is not required unless used for gathering information.

If the previous financial means assessment is sufficient to confirm the client would continue to be eligible for Residential Care Subsidy with no private contribution, the information on the previous financial means assessment can be used to complete the review.
