HOW DOES THE SELECTION POLICY WORK
After an interested person submits his/her application, several additional forms are completed regarding the person's health and personal circumstances. If it appears that the application is urgent, it is sent to the Department of Social Development for selection together with a Financial Report.
Selection takes place in 3 categories depending on the physical and mental health of the person. A physically healthy person, who, because of senility and/or social circumstances, cannot stay in his / her own home, as well as the disabled, can be presented to the Department as a merit case.
However, there is no subsidy for a Group 1 approved (applicant is self-sufficient) - and only a small subsidy for a Group 2 approved (application requires partial care) and they are then responsible for the rest of the unit costs. Boarding fees will accrue according to a subsidy sliding scale calculated for persons with an income less than R1900.00 p.m.
