Costs explained
Understanding the costs of aged care can be overwhelming.
At Anglican Care the cost of our aged care varies depending on the home, your asset assessment, and the services you choose. The four fees you may be required to pay when entering care include:
Goes towards your day-to-day living costs, i.e. meals, cleaning, laundry, heating, and cooling. The current basic daily fee can be found on the My Aged Care website myagedcare.gov.au. The rate increases in line with changes to the Aged Pension.
This is an additional contribution towards care costs that some people may be required to pay and is assessed by Centrelink or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
This payment covers your accommodation in the home that you choose. Your accommodation payment is assessed by the Department of Human Services following the completion of a Permanent Residential Aged Care Request for a Combined Assets and Income Assessment. If you receive a part or full aged pension your accommodation expenses may be met in part or in full by the Australian Government, while others will be assessed as needing to pay the full accommodation payment determined by Anglican Care. You can choose to pay for your accommodation as a refundable accommodation deposit (RAD), a daily accommodation payment (DAP), or a combination of both. A RAD is paid as a lump sum amount. A DAP accrues daily and is paid periodically.
Different fees and accommodation costs may apply based on fee and accommodation arrangements made.
