At Australian Unity, our approach to aged care is underpinned by choice, care, and respect. We commit to delivering reliable and respectful care around the clock. We respect your decisions, preferences and choice and we tailor our services and support to suit your needs and individuality.
This is why we are proud to offer you our Wellbeing Choice Program - our enhanced take on the government’s ‘Higher Everyday Living Fee’ option - to give you choice, meet your preferences and suit your needs.
What is a Higher Everyday Living Fee?
The Higher Everyday Living Fee (HELF) is an optional fee for people who choose to receive a higher standard of everyday living services in aged care, beyond the standard services funded by the government. These services include items such as upgraded meals, more varied activities, lifestyle options, entertainment, or other non-standard amenities.
Wellbeing Choice packages
Australian Unity has thoughtfully designed two higher everyday living packages for our residents, the Lumina Essentials, and the Lumina Signature.
Our Lumina Essentials Package offers enhanced meal and non-alcoholic beverage choices, and access to technology to stay connected with loved ones, while our Lumina Signature Package contains everything in the Lumina Essentials Package plus offers alcoholic beverages and enhanced lifestyle choices.
If you are not sure our packages are right for you, you can choose from individual, ad-hoc or on demand services at any time.
For more information about our packages, ad-hoc, on demand or ongoing enhanced services, you can contact us or speak with our Wellbeing and Transitions Manager at our home who will be more than happy to provide you with more details.
We understand that the process of considering moving into residential aged care can be confusing. This is why we have created a hand six-step guide to help you at every stage.
