How much will you pay? Accommodation Prices Accommodation Payments have 2 Tiers: Tier 1 for payments up to$550,000 (RAD) Tier 2 for accommodation payments above the Tier 1 threshold. Prices require government approval. Published on My Aged Care Website, Facility Website, Brochures together with facility features. Can pay less than the published RAD but not more. Be careful! Cant pay or don’t want to pay the full RAD? Remainder will be paid as DAP
15
Calculating the daily payment RAD X MPIR = DAP 350,000 x 6.69% = 23,415 / 365 = $64.15pd Note the interest rate changes to 6.63% from 1 October 2014
16
How much will you contribute to your care? Everyone pays the Basic Daily Fee$47.15 pd (85% of basic age pension) Extra services are optional $10 pd to $100+pd Ongoing Care costs are subsidised by the government. The extra amount someone contributes to their ongoing care costs is based on their assets and income. Assets below $45,500 and Income below $25,118.60 no contribution
17
Care Contribution Formula 50c per dollar above $25,118.60 plus 17.5% of assets between $45,500 - $155,823.30 plus 1% of assets between $155,823.30 - $376,469.60 plus 2% of assets above $376,469.60 Minus Accommodation Supplement ($53.04) Capped at $25,349p.a/Cost of Care
18
Supported Residents Common Misconception: “If I don’t have any money, I won’t get in!” Assets below $45,500 and Income below $25,118.60 = Fully Support Resident. Once assets or income exceed the threshold we use the following formulae to determine the amount the resident can pay. 50c per dollar above $25,118.60 plus 17.5% of assets between $45,500 - $155,823.30 Govt will pay the difference between the resident contribution and up to $53.04 as supplement.
