About this home

Written by AI from our facts

Estia Health Figtree is in Figtree, in a major city, and is operated by Estia Health, a private company. The home has 120 places, and the operator publishes its room prices.

What this is based on

An AI model wrote these sentences from facts in the government's service list. When the model wrote them, a program checked that each sentence used only those facts, with no prices and no opinions. Each time this page is shown, every number in them, and whether they say the operator publishes room prices, is checked again against this page, and a sentence that no longer matches is left out.

  • Sentence 1 uses: home name, suburb, remoteness, operator name, type of organisation (ABN register)
  • Sentence 2 uses: places, whether room prices are published

What the photos show

Read by two AI models that had to agree

Based on the operator's photos. Two AI models looked at them separately and we show only what both saw. A feature not listed here may simply not be in the photos: ask the home.

Room prices

Each room has one price. Pay it as a refundable lump sum, as a daily payment, or part of each: which to choose. From November 2025 the home keeps 2% a year of a lump sum for up to five years (RAD retention); old and new rules.

The operator's page is the final word. It may list rooms, prices or fees we could not read, and prices change. Check Estia Health's page

How these prices were read

An AI model read the operator's page and listed each room with its maximum lump sum and daily payment. A program then kept a figure only if the exact words it came from are on the page, under that room's name, and contain that figure. A second model rechecks a sample, and any disagreement keeps a list off this site until a person looks.

A daily payment the operator neither prints nor works out in its own price calculator is shown as not published; we never work one out ourselves. A list more than a year old is not shown.

Rooms are listed as the operator lists them. Two rooms with the same name and different prices stay as two rows.

An estimate, not a quote. Government fees are from the Schedule of fees and charges for residential care from 20 September 2026 (in force from 20 Sep 2026), health.gov.au. The room is the operator's own price, checked 7 Nov 2026. Means-tested fees are set by Services Australia after it assesses income and assets.

What it costs each month

Paying the whole room by daily payment, plus the basic daily fee. The top of each range adds the most the means test can charge. Pick a room to change the lump sum, add income and assets, and see what happens to the lump sum over five years.

Questions to ask on your visit

The 15 questions families ask most before choosing a home. We have filled in 8 from what we hold; the rest only the home can answer.

Daily life

  1. What does a typical day look like here? Can we see this month's activity calendar, and do most residents join in?

    Families most want to know how their parent will spend the day, and whether activities really happen. Recommended by Dementia Australia, 8 questions to ask

  2. Can we see this week's menu and come for a meal? How are soft diets, diabetes and cultural or religious diets handled?

    Food is the most common daily complaint; a menu and a meal tell you more than a brochure. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care

  3. Do any carers on the floor speak her language?

    People with dementia often return to their first language. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care

The operator's page for this home, 7 Nov 2026

    What we found Cares for people living with dementia; no separate unit mentioned. Ask whether that includes the stage she is at. The operator's page for this home, 7 Nov 2026

  5. Does a GP visit regularly? Can she keep her own GP, and who covers nights and weekends?
