home for the last two or more years (or whose home is occupied by a ‘protected’ person, for example,
the care recipient’s partner), and have assets of less than 2.5 times the annual single basic age
pension. Assisted residents are those meeting the above criteria, but with assets between 2.5 and 4.0

after a break in care of more than 28 days) and have assets of up to a set value ($90 410.40 as at 30
