How much does it cost and ‘My Aged Care’
It can be incredibly confusing when you begin the journey of considering a move to an Aged Care home and we more than most understand fully how it can impact a person and also a family.
When you do make the move from your own place of residence to an aged care home, it is important to understand what kind of fees are associated and if you may be eligible for any government assistance with your accommodation costs.
The types of fees and how much you pay will depend on:
- your income and assets, as assessed in your aged care means assessment
- the level of care you require and
- the home you choose
Your biggest reference tool in working out the fees associated to accommodation in an aged care home and other costs for services is the government site specifically created to answer any questions you may have. It can be found here at myagedcare.gov.au
