Physiotherapy
Our Physiotherapist works Monday to Friday and is supported by Physiotherapy Aides. Our exercise program conducts a daily muscle strengthening program. We also provide massage by our staff as and when required. A gym is also available for the use of our residents with supervision.

Specialised Services
To support maximum independence and enhance the provision of optimum care, we also offer these specialised services:

• Pain clinic
• Palliative care
• Hairdresser
• Optometry
• Podiatry
• Speech Therapy
• Dietician
• Dental Care
• Geriatric Services

We have a wide selection of single rooms and companion rooms. The accommodation payment is a contribution towards payment for the resident’s accommodation. These payments are calculated either as a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD), or a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP).

A RAD is determined by factors relating to the facility, its location, costs, demographics, room sizes, amenities and individual care needs. A DAP is the daily equivalent of the RAD and is determined as the financial income RAD would create based upon the current marginal interest rate (the level of income the facility would receive from the RAD). This is divided into 365 days and then calculated as the DAP.

For example: The DAP is based on the MPIR of: 4.04%
The maximum RAD is $550,000 with equivalent DAP of $60.88. An example of a combination RAD/DAP is: RAD (lump sum) – $275,000 and a DAP of $30.44.
