The government will use your means assessment to determine what you will pay for your accommodation. If the government identifies that you require financial support, they will determine what, if any contribution you are required to make towards your accommodation costs. If you are not supported, you will be required to pay the published room price. There are a number of ways in which you may choose to pay for your accommodation:
- As a lump sum, called a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD)
- A daily payment, called a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) (indexed twice per year) or
- Combination of refundable deposit and daily payment
- Part lump sum with the daily payment drawn down from the lump sum paid
The same payment options are available to supported residents in how they pay for their accommodation contribution.
Daily Accommodation Payments are indexed twice per year in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and an annual retention amount of 2% will be deducted from refundable deposits (RAD/RAC) for up to 5 years.
Higher Everyday Living Fee (HELF)
Residents may agree to enter into a Higher Everyday Living Agreement. The Higher Everyday Living options available at your RFBI Village will be provided to you on entry. You can take up HELF services at any time during your stay and have an option to cancel when the agreement is renewed each year.
For more information about Aged Care Fees and Charges you can visit the My Aged Care website or speak to one of our team members on 1800 181 959.
History
There has been aged care accommodation in Concord since 1959, when the Concord Senior Citizens’ Welfare Association opened Concord Senior Citizens’ Home. Accommodating 13 people, it ran for 40 years.
With a grant from the Federal Government and, in conjunction with RFBI, a new 50-bed residential care village, accommodating a 10-bed dementia unit was opened in late 1998 by His Excellency, the former Governor, the Hon Gordon Samuels AC.
In early 2004, a new memory care unit was opened, comprising 12 additional rooms, a large kitchen, dining room, lounge, doctor’s room, hairdresser’s salon, manager’s office and boardroom.
In May 2024, the Board of the Concord Senior Citizens Welfare Association unanimously decided to step away and transfer full control of RFBI Concord Community Village to RFBI and as of 31 July 2024, RFBI assumed exclusive ownership of RFBI Concord Community Village.
