Discussion with A/Prof Craig Whitehead - @theMJA perspectives article on @RoyalAged research showing low financial investment in aged care
“I can find someone an aged care bed in about ... 18 or 19 days, but ... an equivalent high level care package is a year” @mariacrotty15
Aged care system “perfectly designed” for poor results … #openaccess InSight+ … "post-COVID, will the Royal Commission drop down the agenda? There’s a very real likelihood it will have, but we have to keep the conversation going.” insightplus.mja.com.au/2020/… #medtwitter #agedcare

Our @theMJA perspectives article on #agedcareRC work shows the Australian aged care system may be over-reliant on providing care in residential settings

Aged care should maximise capabilities and autonomy @mariacrotty15 @katelaver1
Flinders Rehabilitation and Aged Care Research retweeted
Approaches include
- individualised training for people with dementia & their carers
- support workers
- small group homelike residential models
- activity-based respite
- age-friendly communities & smart homes
Decentralized governance may allow more flexible delivery of care
