All of our rooms are single bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, varying in size from 17m² to 28m². We provide every room with a king single, electric hi-low bed with hand and foot controller and specialised pressure care mattress; nurse call; individually-controlled air conditioning/heating; and wall-mounted smart TVs.
A selection of interconnecting single bedrooms cater for couples, subject to availability. Every bedroom has sliding door access to outdoor balconies or patios and secure courtyards or walking paths.
Meals are prepared fresh on-site from a dietician-approved seasonal menu that caters for resident preferences and allergies including texture modified diets and cultural requirements where possible. Whilst we encourage residents to socialise and experience the meal service in the dining rooms with friends and family, room-service can also be arranged to resident’s individual rooms where preferred or for health-related circumstances.
Throughout our home you will find spacious lounge areas, libraries, craft rooms, games areas and multi-purpose areas such as movie theatre, music/piano area, billiard table and café which have been designed to promote socialisation with friends and family.
Our Leisure and Lifestyle team seek to gain an insight into our residents’ connection to lifestyle choices and ensure that their social history, interests, cultural and religious needs, skills, capacity and safety are reflected in their care plans.
Relatives and their families are encouraged to attend activities as part of our Leisure and Lifestyle Program to support transitions and maintain positive connections in the residents’ lives. Our monthly Leisure and Lifestyle program focuses on group activities which promote connection, integration and socialising between residents, families and staff, whilst balancing risk management strategies.
Refundable Accommodation Deposits (RADs) range from $275k - $750k.
Please note, residents with minimal assets and income (as assessed by the Government to receive full or partial support) will not be subject to RAD/DAP costs. Fully Supported residents will pay only a Basic Daily Fee (which is calculated at 85% of the basic single Age Pension) whereas Partially Supported residents will be required to pay an additional Contribution as determined by the Government
With the exception of Accommodation Fees/Deposits (which are negotiated with Signature Care directly), all other fees and charges are mandated by the Australian Government (i.e. Department of Health, Department of Veterans Affairs, etc).

| A delightful single room (17m² + ensuite & patio/balcony) with the following features:
|
Option 1 | Option 2 | Option 3 | Option 4 |
---|---|---|---|
Option 1 | Refundable Accommodation Deposit (“RAD”) | A RAD is a one-off lump sum payment to Signature Care. The full RAD amount is refunded upon departure of the home, less any amounts you have agreed to be deducted (if applicable) and is 100% guaranteed by the Australian Government. | |
Option 2 | Daily Accommodation Payment (“DAP”) | A DAP is a daily payment of interest on the room price which is billed monthly (i.e. a rental-type payment). Unlike the RAD, the DAP is not refundable upon departure of the home. The DAP pricing is based on the Government set interest rate at the time of entry. This is known as the Maximum Permissible Interest Rate (MPIR). This amount may vary from time to time but will be fixed at the rate of permanent entry, for the duration of the resident’s stay, based on any unpaid component of the Refundable Accommodation Deposit. As of 1st Oct 2024 – 31st Dec 2024, the MPIR is 8.38%. To calculate the equivalent DAP, multiply the RAD by the MPIR and divide by 365 for the daily rate. | |
Option 3 | Combination of RAD and DAP | The accommodation cost is paid by a combination of RAD and DAP where you choose a partial RAD amount and this will then adjust the amount you pay via the daily charge. For a combination RAD/DAP payment, multiply the remainder of the RAD by the MPIR and divide by 365. | |
Option 4 | Fully or Partially Government Supported Accommodation | Signature Care offer fully supported rooms where no accommodation contribution is required, or partially supported rooms, where only a very small accommodation contribution is required. To check if you are eligible, please complete an Income and Assets Assessment Form from the Department of Human Services (www.humanservices.gov.au) and submit to Centrelink. |
In addition to the Accommodation Fees/Deposits, the following daily fees may apply:
