AEQURA provides a range of aged care services with various fees and charges. When moving into an aged care home you may be required to pay a one-off payment or deposit, as well as ongoing fees for your care, accommodation and daily living expenses.
These fees may include a basic daily fee, means-tested fees, accommodation payment or higher everyday living fees. Whilst the Australian Government subsidises a range of aged care services in Australia, residents who have financial means are required to the cost of their care and accommodation.
In residential aged care, you might be required to pay one or more of the following fees:
All aged care residents receiving ongoing (permanent) or short-term (respite) care are required to pay this fee. The Basic Daily Fee covers daily living expenses, including meals, cleaning, laundry, heating and cooling.
The government sets the rate for this fee, which is calculated at 85% of the single basic age pension. The Basic Daily Fee increases in line with changes to the single basic age pension, which the government adjusts twice yearly.
The Hotelling Contribution covers part of the cost of daily living services such as meals, cleaning and laundry. The amount you pay is determined by your means assessment and is outlined in your fee advice letter from Services Australia.
The Non-Clinical Care Contribution covers some costs for personal care such as assistance with bathing, mobility and lifestyle activities. The amount you pay is determined by your means assessment and is outlined in your fee advice letter from Services Australia.
This is an amount that some people on 1 July 2014 fee arrangements pay towards the cost of their care.
Depending on the outcome of your government means assessment, residents receiving ongoing care may be required to make a payment or contribution towards your accommodation.
