Residents entering Edenfield will need to choose how to pay for their cost of accommodation either via a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) or Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) or combination of both. The DAP is calculated from the RAD amount at a government prescribed interest rate (MPIR). A resident can elect to pay a combination of RAD and DAP to suit their financial circumstances.

A resident has up to 28 days after entering aged care to select how their accommodation costs will be paid. i.e. RAD or DAP or combination of both. During the 28 day period, a DAP will be required to be paid by the resident.

Yes, the deposit is fully refundable. However, you can elect to have the agreed Daily Accommodation Payment deducted from the Refundable Accommodation Deposit in order to meet an agreed amount of accommodation payment.

A resident has six months from the date of entry to pay the RAD. Please note a DAP will continue to be payable by the resident in the meantime until the RAD is paid.
