All information on this page - excluding Residents' Experience - is entered and maintained by ORH -Residential Aged Care - Waratah Lodge (high care), Lochiel House (low care), respite care & TCP, who is responsible for ensuring the information is accurate, complete and up to date.
How much you contribute towards the cost of your aged care is dependent on your personal circumstances. Your costs are an estimate based on information you have provided while using this website.
If you pay a refundable accommodation deposit or a refundable accommodation contribution, they may be subject to retention. Any daily accommodation payment you make may also be subject to indexation. Learn more about aged care home costs and fees.
Depending on your personal circumstances, some of the listed rooms may not be suitable for you.
Room size values are entered by provider and automatically given units for comparison. These may not always be accurate - please check with the provider if you aren't sure.
- New residents include residential respite and permanent care admissions. Residents are only counted once, when they first move in. People leave care for many reasons, such as end of life, moving to another service, going to hospital, and returning home following respite care. There are many factors that influence occupancy rates at an aged care home. This includes the number of places available at the home, renovation, and staff availability, among others. Occupancy rates alone do not reflect the likely availability of care or the quality of care at a home.
- Percentages shown are the sum of 'Always' and 'Most of the time' responses from the Residents' Experience Survey.
