How much does residential care at Crowley cost?
Your aged care costs will depend on your personal financial circumstances. You will need a means assessment from Services Australia to find out how much you might pay and how much the Australian Government may contribute.
A basic daily fee is paid by every residential aged care resident for the daily living services they receive, including meals, cleaning, laundry and utilities. The daily fee is equivalent to 85% of the aged pension.
Our fees, terms and conditions of accommodation are clearly outlined in the Permanent Resident Agreement we issue to you.
