Our aim is to work long term and collaboratively with local aged care facilities to enhance the quality of life of our aging population. We partner with facilities to work with them on the guidelines and requirements of aged care quality standards and how we can work together to implement these requirements in a practical, safe and economical manner. We consider the local options, residents preferences and our rural and regional aspects.
We can deliver these services in person at your facility as we are local.
Our approach of longer term relationships with facilities includes options of:
- Regular visits to review weights, dietary changes
- Working with other stakeholders such as physiotherapist, speech pathologist, nursing and medical services for a collaborative approach.
- Keeping up to date with current standards and future requirements.
