The new rules have the same fundamental structure as the old rules but with some changes in how they are assessed. The main changes are:

No distinction between low and high care (same fees apply regardless of level of care)
All residents will have a choice to pay entry fees as lump sum (RAD) or daily rate (DAP) or mixture of both
Contribution towards care fee is based on both income and assets (not just income)
Annual cap on care fees only applies once annual limit has been paid and a lifetime cap also applies.
