Help with aged care homes

Common question


Question:	I am a self funded retiree, currently live in my own home and need to enter an aged care home to receive low (hostel) level care. How much could I be asked to pay?
Answer:	The level of basic daily fee and income tested fee you could be asked to pay would be based on your income and date of entry to care. You could be asked to pay an accommodation bond. The level of accommodation bond you could be asked to pay would depend on the level of your assets.
