Fees
Aged care facilities charge two main types of fees: a daily care fee and an accommodation bond. Both are determined by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing (DOHA) and a full list of government fees and charges is available on its website.
Care fees cover items such as nursing and personal care, meals and recreation activities. As at 20 September 2006, the basic daily care fee at Fig Tree Point is $37.38. The accommodation bond is based on your assets and you have to pay this when you become a resident.
If you want to take advantage of the extra service provided at Fig Tree Point, you will be charged an extra service fee each month. As at 20 September 2006, this fee is $45 a day. It will be added to your daily care fee on your monthly statement.
