Residential care: secure, compassionate assisted living
Whether the onset of health problems is gradual or sudden, if the need to seek assistance and comfort increases, RFBI Holt Masonic Village can provide an assisted lifestyle which includes round-the-clock care.
We are well aware that the decisions involved cause rising levels of concern both personally and for your loved ones. You will find us completely attuned to your needs, and dedicated to helping both you and your family adapt to the many changes ahead.
You can count on our compassionate and caring staff to listen to your needs in detail and provide the right options for you.
Dedicated to your care and comfort
Throughout the RFBI Holt Masonic Village we strive to provide a homely and fulfilling lifestyle.
You will be looked after here in a loving and caring environment where compassionate care and attention to your needs are our number one priority. We provide both practical and home comforts, with 24-hour registered nurse coverage, 24-hour caring staff, home visits from doctors, physiotherapist, podiatrists, specialists and weekly hairdressing appointments.
Craft, bingo and card games are all popular activities we hold on our Community Hall, or just catch up for morning or afternoon tea at one of our 'chat groups'. For those who like a tipple, residents gather for our regular whisky nights. We also have a bus, which can be used for picnics, shopping trips and visits to local clubs.
Our dedicated group of volunteers attend to gardening and maintenance work, and every Saturday there is a volunteer morning tea.

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
RFBI Holt Masonic Village comprises Kalparrin, our residential care home, plus two retirement living villages: Holt and Pearce.
The word Kalparrin means ‘to lend a helping hand’. We take this literally and strive to provide quality in-place aged care services to all the residents within our residential care.
The Grand Master of the United Lodge of NSW, Hon R.L.H Johnson, opened Kalparrin on 1st October 1989. Due to public demand, a further four beds were added in 2003.
