Explanation of fees at RM Begg

This covers your room rental. You may be eligible for Governmental financial assistance.
How will I know if I’m eligible for financial assistance for aged care?

$61,500.00
You pay full if:
Your income is greater than:
$65,020.80
Your assets are greater than:
$206,039.20
What are my options if I am self-funding my aged care?
The good news is, if you are paying for your aged care costs without Government assistance, you have a choice as to how you pay:
A lump sum payment:
$550,000 Standard - shared ensuite room
$550,000 Standard room
RAD = Refundable Accommodation Deposit
Fully refundable when you leave the home.
Daily payments:
$126.27 Standard - shared ensuite room

Food & services cost
This fee covers the cost of day-to-day services, such as meals, cleaning, laundry and facilities management.
Based on current rate:
$63.57 / day
$23,203.05 / year
The basic daily fee = 85% of the single person rate of the basic age pension. This changes twice per year.

An ongoing fee that covers your personal and clinical care.
Personal care may include help with:
Bathing, dressing, grooming, toilet & shower support, etc.

Not everyone will have to pay a means-tested care fee; it is based upon your specific needs. If you do need to pay a care fee, the exact amount is determined through a means assessment. It may be determined after the needs assessment that you pay part of the cost and the Australian Government pays the rest.
