National Meals on Wheels day took place last week to celebrate the 78,700 volunteers and their contribution to their community.
Meals on Wheels Australia President Leon Holmes said the day was about recognising the efforts of the organisation, who have delivered more than 14.8 million meals to over 50,000 recipients in a year.
The organisation delivers meals to metropolitan, regional and rural areas in Australia but said the service was much more than a meal.
The ABC has reported that support to allow pets in residential aged care is growing. Currently many residential aged care homes forbid pets and residents are often forced to leave their companion/s behind when they move into a nursing home or retirement village. Whilst there are current support services to help elderly people find suitable homes for their pets if they are required to leave them behind, many are pushing for aged care providers to preserve the bond between residents and their pets.
ACSA (Aged and Community Services Australia), the peak body for mission-based aged care providers have called on the Government to look into the actual cost of providing care for the elderly, after recent rorting claims of aged care funding.
What is Home Care?
If you or someone you know is considering moving into residential aged care but are not ready to leave their home, then Home Care may be an appropriate alternative.
