Understanding All the Costs Involved in Residential Aged Care

Aged Care costs money, and how much money you will pay will depend on a variety of factors. In aged care, you many need to pay a variety of different fees depending on the sort of aged care services you are looking for.

Possible fees include:

  • Daily Care Fees
  • Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) or Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP)
  • Extra Service Fees
  • Accommodation Fee

An aged care financial advisor will help you understand these fees and how much they will cost.
