24.01.2022 COTA Australia has launched a petition calling on new Health Minister Greg Hunt to reverse a Medicare anomaly that prevents over 170,000 Australians in residential aged care accessing mental health services. When the Better Access to Mental Health Care program was introduced in 2006, nursing homes were considered institutions and their residents were excluded from the program. This ruling means that people receiving a high level Home Care Package are eligible for the program, but people in residential aged care are not. #agedcare #eldercare #mentalhealth

10.01.2022 According to the official wheelbarrow storm gauge, we definitely experienced a tad more rain than usual. These pics are from Rosalie Village and Bardon, two suburbs close to the Healthcraft showroom in Milton. #brisbane #weather #flooding

10.01.2022 Another alternative solution for the Australian Aged Care Industry that has proven highly successful in the Netherlands and other European countries. Based on the concept of a social model of care, seniors live in a household of no more than eight people, rather than the larger group settings of traditional aged care services.

09.01.2022 One organisation found to be innovating by the recent Commbank analysis report is care provider Thomas Holt, which was identified as setting the standard for the Australian aged care industry in keeping pace with significant technological changes. Love this quote by their CEO Alexandra Zammit: "This is where technology can make the biggest impact, because it frees up our staff to focus on the client. No matter how good robotics or artificial intelligence is, it wont replace one-on-one care." OECD Commonwealth Bank #innovation #healthcare #agedcare #technology

06.01.2022 Alzheimers Australia is committed to the concept of dementia-friendly communities. Its a massive issue and we know that when people with dementia experience isolation, their symptoms are more likely to be exasperated. There are many aged care providers doing fantastic work in dementia care and providing real leadership in the sector. #dementia #agedcare #eldercare Alzheimers Australia (Qld) Alzheimers Australia NSW Alzheimers Australia Vic Alzheimers Australia SA Alzheimers Australia WA Alzheimers Australia Tasmania Alzheimers Australia ACT Alzheimers New Zealand

05.01.2022 Personal information is handled, used and disclosed every day and it is the responsibility of aged care organisations to protect it.

03.01.2022 Interesting Fact that lends support to the research in the below linked article: Experiments on forest bathing conducted by the Center for Environment, Health and Field Sciences in Japans Chiba University measured its physiological effects on 280 subjects in their early 20s. The team measured the subjects salivary cortisol (which increases with stress), blood pressure, pulse rate, and heart rate variability during a day in the city and compared those to the same biometrics... taken during a day with a 30-minute forest visit. The study concluded that Forest environments promote lower concentrations of cortisol, lower pulse rate, lower blood pressure, greater parasympathetic nerve activity, and lower sympathetic nerve activity than do city environments. In other words, being in nature made subjects physiologically less amped. The parasympathetic nerve system controls the bodys rest-and-digest system while the sympathetic nerve system governs fight-or-flight responses. Subjects were more rested and less inclined to stress after a forest bath. As a nation of city dwellers, we often make fun of our country/forest counterparts as being far too chilled and less reactive to the stresses of life. Turns out they may be a living multi-generational example of the biometric effects experienced through Forest Bathing.

02.01.2022 Anti-Aging Stem Cell Therapy Shows Remarkable Results in Human Trials. The therapy tested in the clinical trials involves mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), a type of adult stem cell that scientists are studying in efforts to combat everything from brain disease to multiple sclerosis. #agedcare #eldercare

02.01.2022 A pilot partnership between St.George Bank and Alzheimers Australia has given way to the first accredited financial institution to provide services within a #dementia friendly environment.
