While there’s obviously lots of detail still to work out, the Report’s recommendations strike a good balance between implementing a funding model that’ll help secure the sector’s long-term financial sustainability, and ensuring a clearer, higher quality and more accessible experience for aged care residents.
By Rami Kamel, Chief Operating Officer Ryman Healthcare Australia
Retirement living has long been surrounded by misconceptions that paint a limited, often grim picture. However, as the landscape of senior living evolves, so do the realities within these communities.
Ryman Healthcare has been hailed as a prime example of a purpose-driven organisation with branding that works seamlessly with its corporate policies.
On Friday 10 March Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews opened a $30m extension to Ryman Healthcare’s Nellie Melba Retirement Village, making it the largest full continuum of care village in Australia. Mr Andrews and Ryman Healthcare Australia CEO Cameron Holland cut the ribbon to officially open the new 41-apartment complex in Wheelers Hill.
With theatres shuttered and the live performance industry still reeling from the COVID-19 lockdown, a Melbourne virtual reality company is bringing a night at the opera directly to the residents of an aged care residence and retirement village bearing the name of Australia’s most famous operatic icon.
Ryman Healthcare Nellie Melba activities coordinator Charlotte Rowe has a simple but important way of telling if she is doing a good job.
During the COVID-19 crisis the bravery and dedication of many of the workers too important to seek refuge in their homes has often gone unseen, and unacknowledged.
