Imagine
Waking up as the soft sunlight filters through your window, gently nudging you to start your day. You take a moment to stretch, knowing there’s no need to hurry. The staff at Dudley Foord House know you prefer to ease into your day, and breakfast is ready when you are.
Eventually you get dressed and head down the hall for breakfast. The dining area welcomes you with a hum of friendly chatter as you sit down and decide what you feel like for breakfast. You enjoy starting your mornings together with your friends.

Community
After breakfast, you join the walk and talk group outside to stroll along the garden paths, taking in the greenery and the sounds of birdsong. You’ve always loved gardening and are pleased you have a room that opens out to a private courtyard and garden area. After your walk, you plan on tending to your small garden. The blooms this time of year are so pretty and bring you so much joy. However, your morning wouldn’t be complete without a hug or two, you love hugs and now, living at Dudley Foord House there’s an abundance of them each day.
As you head inside you notice the men getting set up for their men's group and BBQ lunch, others are sitting in the main lounge having a quiet chat together. These moments of friendship have become a comforting rhythm in your days.

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 choices and freshly prepared options the hospitality team prepares 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 Dudley Foord 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;
- An upfront lump sum payment of the RAD (which is 100% refundable on your departure)
- 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)
- 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.
