Government Supported Aged Care

Aged care for all financial situations

 

At Carinity, everyone is welcome regardless of their financial situation – your bank balance should never be a barrier to high quality aged care. We encourage partially supported and fully supported residents to apply for aged care in our communities.

If you’ve been advised to find partially supported, fully supported or concessional care, we’re here for you.

Aged care costs explained

If you are new to aged care, the fees and payments can seem overwhelming. When you’re looking into aged care, it’s important to keep in mind that the Australian Government may make a contribution to your aged care costs, depending on your financial situation. Many of our residents receive some degree of Government support, with some only paying the Basic Daily Care Fee, which is linked to the age pension.

While it can be complicated, the system is designed to be flexible to meet everyone’s differing needs and financial situation, and to support those who have limited financial assets or income.

You can find out more on out Aged Care Costs page, or if you have questions, feel free to call our Customer Service Team on 1300 109 109.

Living with purpose.

Carinity offers personal care that recognises each individual. Our north Brisbane aged care communities receive round-the-clock support and care from our dedicated care staff, with Registered Nurses on-site at all times. Being so conveniently located, our aged care communities are close to medical specialists, public and private hospitals and all the local services that make life easy.

Daily activities, social events, regular outings, visits from musicians and friendly therapy animals all support our living with purpose philosophy. We even have our cute robotic cats and dogs to provide a fun, interactive experience for all our residents. Our physio-led exercises classes provide an opportunity to exercise the body and the mind, helping our residents to stay physically mobile. Being in the familiar surrounds of north Brisbane means social connections and friendships are easily maintained.

Sharing a good meal is often a highlight of the day, and it’s no different at Carinity. Each of our north Brisbane aged care communities host an in-house chef and cooks prepare all meals fresh on-site, using fresh local produce.
