    Community

    After coffee club, you all decide to head inside and do some craft. Decoupage is the craft of choice today, something new you’ve picked up since moving in, which you quite enjoy. Although if you’re honest, it’s the socialising with friends you enjoy the most.

    After lunch you all head down for pub trivia, another great social event that brings residents together. The air is filled with laughter and the hum of connection – a true reflection of the caring and social community at Lemongrove Gardens.
     

    Dining

    When lunch and dinner comes around, the dining room has a vibrant energy. Mealtimes are an enjoyable experience that you look forward to, socialising with your friends and with a glass of wine when you choose. You’re grateful for the variety of choice and freshly prepared options the hospitality team prepare each day. Next month you’ve decided to join the food focus group to work with the team on the next menu. You have always enjoyed cooking, so you’re pleased to be involved and contribute. 
     

    Home

    As you retire to your room for the evening, you reflect on your day and your time at Lemongrove Gardens so far. A big decision at the time to leave your family home, and everything that was familiar to you, but you’re pleased you did. You’re happy you made the move on your own terms, choosing a residential aged care home that feels right for you, a place where you can embrace the social atmosphere, enjoy activities, continue your favourite hobbies, and even explore new ones. 

    Yet perhaps what you value most are the friendships you’ve built since moving in. On quieter days, when you’re not up for much, it’s comforting to know that you’re surrounded by a supportive and friendly community. 

    You also appreciate the respectful balance of independence and care the staff provide, they’re always there when you need them.

    This is now your home, a place where you feel safe, respected and loved.

    Fees and charges

    Accommodation Payment

    The payment estimator below will show you how much your daily payment will be, based on how much you pay as a lump sum payment. This is for non-supported people who have to pay the full accommodation payment. There are three ways you can pay your accommodation.

    1.  As a lump sum payment known as the refundable accommodation deposit (RAD). You will get the majority of the RAD refunded when you leave. The residential care provider retains 2% of the RAD each year. This is known as the retention amount. The retention amount is set by the government and capped at 5 years. It is deducted from the balance of your RAD each month.
    2.  As a daily accommodation payment (DAP). This is calculated on the price of the room, any unpaid RAD and the current MPIR (Maximum Permissible Interest Rate). The MPIR is set by the government. The DAP is indexed twice a year and is not refundable.
    3. Or a combination of the two.

    If you are partially supported by the government you will also contribute to the cost of your accommodation. In addition to accommodation payments other fees apply. To learn more about these Fees and Charges click here.
