How do I apply for Special Care or Nursing Care services in New Brunswick?
First, you need to be assessed
Assessments to confirm your care needs are conducted prior to admission to a care facility.
Special Care (Level 2)
If you are assessed as requiring Special Care facility support, you may chose where you wish to live based on availability. You are encouraged to visit facilities, tour and speak with staff to determine which facility will best suit your needs.
Nursing Care (Level 3)
The New Brunswick Department of Social Development manages placement in Nursing Care nursing homes. A single point of entry is used to determine and set priority for access to all Nursing Care homes and beds. Learn more on the Department of Social Development’s website. If you require financial support, application may be made for a Financial Assessment under the Standard Family Contribution Policy. Here is a link to the Department’s Standard Family Contribution Policy brochure.
