25.01.2022 A story that is both powerful and heartbreaking appeared in The Age this weekend. Whilst the focus is on abuse in aged care facilities, the circumstances described by Barney Cooney are more common. Hopefully, his last words will not be wasted.

25.01.2022 Ageing ain't fun. Prevention is the best strategy. Check out these useful tips to keep your bladder healthy!

20.01.2022 Made me smile after reading all the doom and gloom about aged care in the media this week.

20.01.2022 Politics! It is rare to find any aged care facility now without 24/7 Registered Nurses rostered. So looks like a pledge that will not require any input?

19.01.2022 Good discussion around the pros and cons of ageing at home and the importance of keeping socially connected to prevent social isolation and loneliness.

18.01.2022 New Dysphagia Standards in place from today.

18.01.2022 A good debate on Q&A but where were the solutions. In addition to discussion around ratios we need to look at the training and skill level of carers, regulation of this group would be a good starting point.

18.01.2022 The power of animals and our interactions with them.

18.01.2022 A disheartening survey done by the Nurses Union on aged care. Good to see a review of the system occurring through the royal commission, change cannot come soon enough.

17.01.2022 A wonderful study, aged care must be inter generational as living in an aged care facility should not be any different to living in the community.

15.01.2022 More specific dementia units in aged care desperately needed so good news moving forward for this group of residents.

13.01.2022 Oral health must be a priority care provision in #aged care for all residents.

13.01.2022 Definitely. Keeping active both physically and mentally add to a good quality of life older Australians no matter where they live.

12.01.2022 Good to see the spotlight on home care. Still urgent need for release of more high level care packages to support the #elderly at home.

11.01.2022 A positive move forward to get evidence based funding for residential aged care.

11.01.2022 A great mix the young and the old.

11.01.2022 A positive move to assist consumers with choosing the best home care services. Now we need to ensure the same transparency of charges for residential aged care with the re-establishing of extra service fees on My Aged Care Website no matter what the name of the fee!

10.01.2022 What a fantastic concept.

10.01.2022 Lets hope more aged care residential facilities allow residents to have pets. #aged care

09.01.2022 Great to hear of the new Retirement Living Code of Conduct, a commitment to quality and transparency within their community.

06.01.2022 Great to see forums to explore the ageing environment. We need to challenge how aged care is delivered moving forward.

06.01.2022 I believe a majority of Aged Care Providers already meet this Charter of Rights. The new law will raise awareness and hopefully have everyone maintaining and exceeding these rights.

04.01.2022 This article which appeared in both The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald earlier this week highlights the issues that many care recipients and their families face with home care packages. Whilst the system allows choice and control over package funding, it is complex and very difficult to navigate. So often, I see people who do not understand their packages being taken advantage of by their home care providers. There are 2 main things that you should know about home care packages: 1. shop around. The market for providers is very competitive and you will find that you will get a lot more from one provider than from another; and 2. you can always change your provider if you are not happy with them. If you need help navigating home care, please contact us at www.signpostlms.com.au.

04.01.2022 A snapshot of what to expect with the changes to the standards for aged care and what individuals are family can expect.

04.01.2022 Good news, more funding for aged care. Lets hope it reaches the end users.

02.01.2022 Preparing for end of life should be addressed by us all not just our older population!

01.01.2022 It is important for all of us to have Power of Attorneys in place as none of us know what life might throw at us. As we age and circumstances change it is reassuring to have Power of Attorney's in place so a trusted family member, friend or colleague can step in and assist with handling your finances and decision making on best care options. So think about getting Powers of Attorneys in place and have a open conversation about your wishes moving forward so you can be assured your affairs are going to be well managed. If you need Power of Attorneys prepared Signpost has a full time lawyer who can assist to execute these documents. Contact Signpost: [email protected] or phone 1899 774 676
