Care costs

Your care costs will depend on your needs and situation.

Basic daily fee Goes toward care needs and living expenses. Everyone in residential care pays this fee and the amount is set by the Government as a proportion of the pension.
Means tested care fee Residents whose income and assets exceed thresholds set by the Government will be asked to pay a means-tested care fee.

There are other additional and supplementary services that can be provided at an extra cost. We’ll discuss them with you according to your care needs.

Accommodation costs

The cost of your room in a residential care home will vary depending on the room type and location. You can view the prices for all HammondCare homes using our Location Finder.

Accommodation payments can be structured as you prefer, either as:

A one-off lump sum (known as a Refundable Accommodation Deposit or RAD)
A Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) or
A combination of part lump sum, part daily payment.

A Government income and asset test will determine if you are eligible to receive a full or partial Government contribution towards your accommodation cost.
