Payment for our services
Our beds can be purchased under a block or spot arrangement. The spot purchase price is slightly higher than the block price, due to an assumption of unfilled capacity. Our prices are fixed, no matter where the resident has come from.
Occassionally, for complex cases, we may discuss supplementary fees. Access our dementia referral services so we can discuss specific needs.
We have developed a staffing model and team expertise that minimises the need for 1:1 support for people with dementia. It is quite common for us to care for residents who have previously required 1:1 or 2:1 support in other homes. However, due to our specialised approach and care plans, our residents often flourish and become more independent within weeks of being under our care.
We pride ourselves on our ability to effectively manage dementia referrals and provide a safe and nurturing environment for our residents, and peace of mind for families and carers.
