Questions families ask
Which of these homes in Forest Hill has the lowest room price?
Regis Inala Lodge: its rooms start at $400k as a refundable lump sum (RAD). Room prices are each operator's published maximum; a home may agree a lower price.
Do I have to pay the room price as a lump sum?

Is the room price all I pay?
No. The basic daily fee and any means-tested fees are on top. The monthly row in the table adds them for the cheapest room at each home.
How up to date are these prices?
