Imagine

Waking up to the gentle sound of chatter and the aroma of fresh coffee as you start your day at Piper House. Surrounded by the peaceful backdrop of the Illawarra escarpment, life here feels connected to nature, yet close to everything you love about Dapto.

You take your time getting ready, there’s no rush here. The team respects your pace, ensuring mornings are just how you like them. Not far away, the dining room is filling up with friendly faces, and your favourite breakfast of scrambled eggs on toast is waiting.

Community

After breakfast, you join your friends on the terrace to plan the next group of activities. A lively bunch, there’s no shortage of ideas, and the wonderful team at Piper House will try their best to deliver on the suggestions. An outing to the zoo appears to be top of the list - that will be a fun day out with this bunch.

At 10:30 am the cafe area starts to fill as residents find their seats ready for coffee club - a social gathering where life stories are shared, and connections are made.

Later, you decide you will try your hand at fishing, it will be great to get near the water and learn something new while spending time with friends. With rods in hand and laughter filling the air, you and your friends settle in for an enjoyable afternoon on the water.

Dining

When lunch and dinner comes around, the dining room has a vibrant energy. Mealtimes are an enjoyable experience that you look forward to, socialising with your friends and often with a glass of wine. You’re grateful for the variety of choice and freshly prepared options the hospitality team prepare each day. Next month you’ve decided to join the food focus group to work with the team on the next menu. You have always enjoyed cooking, so you’re pleased to be involved and contribute.

Home

As you retire to your room for the evening, you reflect on your day and your time at Piper House so far. A big decision at the time to leave your family home, and everything that was familiar to you, but you’re pleased you did. You’re happy you made the move on your own terms, choosing a residential aged care home that feels right for you, a place where you can embrace the social atmosphere, enjoy activities, continue your favourite hobbies, and even explore new ones.

Yet perhaps what you value most are the friendships you’ve built since moving in. On quieter days, when you’re not up for much, it’s comforting to know that you’re surrounded by a supportive and friendly community.

You also appreciate the respectful balance of independence and care the staff provide, they’re always there when you need them.

This is now your home, a place where you feel safe, respected and loved.

    Fees and charges

    The price selection below is the accommodation payment, also known as the Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD). The accommodation payment can be made in a few different ways, either as;

    1. An upfront lump sum payment of the RAD (which is 100% refundable on your departure)
    2.  A fortnightly Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) is calculated on the price of the room and any unpaid RAD at the current MPIR (Government determined interest rate)
    3.  A combination of both, with a partial RAD payment and the balance paid as a DAP. The higher the RAD amount you contribute, the lower your monthly DAP. 

    To better understand how this works for you with your particular finances, this RAD/DAP fee estimator may help. To assist you in making the best decision based on your particular finances, we recommend seeking financial advice from an Accredited Aged Care Financial Advisor.
