Aged care services are second to none. Kew Gardens is an Extra Service Facility which means they maintain a higher staff to resident ratio than regular facilities. The registered nurses are committed to delivering premium, individually-focused aged care, based on an intimate knowledge of each resident’s personal care requirements.
Kew Gardens believe in the concept of ‘ageing in place’ which means they provide a comprehensive range of care services. They understand that aged care requirements are dependent on the individual so we aim to be flexible and responsive to each and every one of our resident’s needs and their level of care. Whether you or your loved one requires high care, respite care, dementia care or palliative care, you can be sure that Kew Gardens will provide the best quality care.
Diversional therapy, dietician, speech therapy, beauty therapy, music therapy, physiotherapy, podiatry, massage and aromatherapy including dementia specific programs, and a choice of doctors are also available.
Kew Gardens aged care facility also provides great lifestyle and entertainment services. Kew Gardens catering services are top class.

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.
