Ensuring all Ferndale Gardens residents feel right at home is Ferndale Gardens number one priority. Ferndale Gardens don’t want any of Ferndale Gardens residents to feel like patients – Ferndale Gardens want everybody Ferndale Gardens care for to know they’re valued and respected members of Ferndale Gardens community. Ferndale Gardens nurses understand the difficulties that people living with dementia face on a daily basis, putting them in the perfect position to provide the care they need.
Each and every day, Ferndale Gardens have activities for residents that not only stimulate memories but also allow them to build new ones. Ferndale Gardens serve chef-cooked meals that residents enjoy and Ferndale Gardens can cater to special dietary requirements.

Why are Ferndale Gardens carers so good at their jobs? Because they’re genuinely passionate about what they do. Nobody views people with dementia as burden – they view residents for who they are; people who’ve lived rich lives and contributed a great deal to society. All Ferndale Gardens employees create deep bonds with residents, and they spend a lot of time with them to ensure everybody feels valued and respected.

The Maximum Permissible Interest Rate (MPIR) will reduce to 8.34% pa from
For a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) of $550,000 the equivalent Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) reduces to $125.67 pd ($45,870 pa).
The Reserve Bank has kept the cash rate on hold for a few months, so we are seeing a very small decrease in the MPIR. This could mean that the MPIR has reached its peak and could be on the slide down.
Also from 1st April 2024, the refurbished Daily Accommodation Contribution (DAC) rate of $68.14 means an equivalent Refundable Accommodation Contribution (RAC) of $298,215. In June 2022 the RAC was $544,719, meaning that aged care homes that are “RAD-focused” are now less likely to look at fully supported / partially supported residents if the aged care home has already exceeded their 40% supported ratio, as the RAC has now dropped below $300,000.

From , the Government has started to use the STAR RATING system for registered aged care homes (new homes will be allocated a Star Rating after 12 months of operation).
Star Ratings are displayed on the Aged Care Provider Search within the My Aged Care website.
The Star Rating is based upon 5 levels with the middle rating denoting only a minimum baseline of ‘Acceptable’ care quality and services.
The Star Rating System has revealed that 41 % of aged care homes are performing at a 5-star (excellent) or 4-star (good) level.
Star Ratings also reveal that astonishingly 5 % are performing below the minimum standards set, receiving a dismal and disturbing (Improvement Needed) or (Significant Improvement Needed) Star Rating.
We support full public disclosure of those aged care homes that are making the effort to exceed the regulated standards and community expectations.
We also support the naming of aged care homes that do not currently provide quality levels of aged care services to the frail elderly and vulnerable members of our community.
The Star Rating system is a key component of the aim for continuous improvement to our aged care system.
