For this Winter edition, we look at the factors affecting financial sustainability of aged care. As with any other organisation, aged care providers need to be financially sustainable. Without a firm financial foundation, it is impossible to provide high-quality care. In aged care, meaningful engagement and partnership with consumers to meet their needs, is a core aspect of sustainability.
We have perspectives from the Luke and Pru to consider, as well as Gwen Stevens, an aged care resident. We consider robots in aged care, new marketplace services, ageism, and again food services systems, further developing on last Edition’s food theme.
