Who We Help

St. Jude’s specialise in providing high-quality, reliable aged care across WA and QLD.

We offer a wide range of premium aged care services which are tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients, whether they be residents of our Guildford Village or Bethania Gardens care home facilities, or living independently in their own homes.

Our services are available to anyone aged 65 years or over.

Why Choose Us?

We are not part of a large corporate group which means we are small enough to remember your name. While it is one thing to make bold statements about values, at St. Judes, we truly live them.

Committed to delivering a personalised service to each and every one of our clients, we custom-design our services to meet their unique needs.

Quality of care is at the forefront of all we do. Maintaining consistently high standards for over 40 years, we have developed a reputation as one of the best aged care providers.

Our desire is to help people achieve optimum quality of life, at every stage. We encourage our residents and clients alike to live healthy, active lives as far as possible – independently and safely.

If you’re looking for premium aged care in Perth or Brisbane, our beautiful care home facilities in both locations could be the perfect fit. Our care homes emphasise traditional values and honour, providing our ageing in-place residents a home in their retirement life. We strive to ensure your loved ones’ latter years are filled with love, laughter and joy, combined with holistic care.

We are unique in that we specialise in dementia care, enabling us to genuinely understand our residents varied needs and are dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of life possible.

Our Aged Care Services

As one of the most reputable aged care agencies in WA and QLD, we offer an extensive variety of in-house services, complimented by external services, as well as a diverse activity and lifestyle .

Our services range from in-home care, to dementia and palliative care, to clinical services, therapies and aged care support services.

We encourage the residents at both of our aged care facilities to participate in both our community-based activities and enjoy quiet time to themselves, so they can engage as much or as little as they like with our staff and other residents.

Guildford Village and Bethania Gardens hold strong traditional values and celebrates special events, holidays and birthdays. This promotes a joyful and a consistently entertaining environment, whilst acknowledging the individual preferences of those who choose to participate. Our residents and visitors can enjoy the surrounding scenery of our facilities, and we are conveniently located near cafés, shopping centres and attractions.

Please refer to our Accommodation and Aged Care Home pages for more information on both of our residential aged care facilities.

Residential Aged Care Fees

The fees and charges are determined by the Department of Health based on your ability to pay and individual circumstances at time of admission. Your admission options at Guildford Village or Bethania Gardens can vary greatly based on your individual circumstances.

We recommend speaking to your Financial Adviser as we can only provide basic information. You will find further information about the aged care fees and charges on the Government’s “My Aged Care” website. 

Our external, independent living home-care services are charged on a per service basis. Contact our friendly team today for more information on our service offerings and charges.

All residents in aged care, including people seeking respite care are required to pay a basic daily care fee as a contribution towards care and living expenses. The daily fee for all residents equates to 85% of the basic single age pension.

This is a lump sum payment for accommodation in an aged care home and is fully refundable when you leave the residence. This is the price of a room, in lump sum form, that residents have agreed to pay with the provider. Residents can pay the RAD in full or they can pay via a combination of a smaller RAD and a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP). Our maximum room price is $550,000. Further details can be found on government’s “My Aged Care” website.

The DAP is calculated as a daily cost that is charged fortnightly or monthly if the RAD has not been paid in full. The DAP is calculated as a percentage of the remaining RAD. For example, if the RAD on a room is $550,000 and no RAD is paid, then the resident will pay $89.81 as a DAP (based on the current 5.96% interest rate). Please note, in most circumstances, a percentage of the RAD is required as a deposit on the date of entry.

The resident can elect to pay a combination of a RAD and a DAP. For example, on a room with a RAD of $550,000, the resident can pay $300,000 upfront and the remaining $250,000 as a DAP. In this scenario the DAP would be $40.82 per day.

Residents (other than respite residents) may be asked to pay a care co-contribution fee depending on their income and their assets. The Government sets the amount a resident must pay direct to the aged care provider and reduces the care subsidies paid to the provider by the same amount.

Upon leaving the residence, the refundable deposit will be refunded in full, as long as it was not agreed for any amounts to be deducted from the refundable deposit – in which case it would be the balance that would be refunded. Amounts that can be deducted against the refundable deposit are the care co-contribution, the DAP, and additional benefits. In these cases, interest at 3.75% will be charged on the monthly balance of the amount deducted.

Where the resident requests or agrees to additional services being provided (such as newspapers, alcoholic drinks, additional outings etc.), these can be charged to their monthly account.

The Government provides care subsidies to ensure all residents receive the same standard of care in the residence.

A Resident Agreement protects both parties by formalising arrangements upon admission. As the Government determines fees after admission, the Resident Agreement refers to the maximum amount that could be charged for the various fees and charges.

Regular Statements
Statements are issued early in each month and relate to the full month.

Direct Debit Transfer
Direct Debit is the preferred method of payment given it is processed fortnightly or monthly from the account into which any pension is paid.

Other Payment Methods
We accept Bank Transfer and Cheque payments. We are not able to provide Credit Card or BPAY payment facilities.
