Extra Care Fee ($600 monthly):
This fee comes into effect when a Resident becomes non-ambulatory, requiring mechanical lifts, and/or two-person transfers.
Items that remain under the financial care of the families include: prescriptions, and medical supplies, in room telephone – cable TV – internet, professional hairdressing, podiatrist services, and personal care items.
Possibility of 1:1 support for your Person (Resident):
Within the monthly fees, Highview will provide the care ratios identified in our home, however it is not possible for Highview to provide 1-to-1 care. There may be a situation where a Resident requires this special level of additional care for a number of reasons (see below). In that instance, the Care Coordinator would identify the need for this level of care (1:1), the timing it is required and the reason, within the context of a Care Call or email or phone call, with the POA Care. At that time, it is required that the POA Care secure and provide the 1:1 care needed, for the time required in one of three ways:
- family / friends provide
- paid caregiver arranged by POA Care
- Highview staff (if possible) and billed at an hourly rate, directly to the Resident account
Examples of reason why 1:1 additional care may be required: a particular episode of illness, behavioural issues, or the resident’s safety. Such additional supports will be billed to the family. Private Care arrangements must be approved by Highview. These additional services would continue until the Highview determines that they are no longer required.
