And don't forget - these people, these citizens, are not entitled to police protection. Police do not attend nursing homes.

At this rate the FederalElection could be run & won on a Euthansia platform. Could be an usual melding of young & old minds? C'mon Scott are you willing to give it a shot(in the arm) Bill might take it up just to seal a win smh auspol

None of what is being reported is new - this kind of thing has gone on for ages!! I applaud them for finally starting to take note of what is actually happening - let's just hope that the sorts of abuses & neglect outlined come to a swift end!!

This is not just our grandparents and our parents now. This will one day be all of us. This is important for all.

'Ultra-processed' ready meals linked to greater risk of dyingDiets that include 'ultra-processed' ready meals can increase the risk of early death, French research suggests. Vegans die also. The original nutrients are progressively removed as they progress through the ‘processing’ process. Whew I would expect eating frequent fast food and prepared meals also correlates with low to no exercise and low level preventative health care. Would like to see if/how they controlled for these other factors to isolate diet as the ‘cause’.

Aged care funds boosted ahead of inquiryOn the eve of a royal commission into aged care, the Australian government has revealed more funding for those getting care in facilities and at home. On the eve of a federal election campaign .... there that’s much better Conditions MUST be attached to extra funding for aged care nursing homes or the owners will just pocket the extra cash without adding more staff and training. Yet again my mother’s home care hangs in the balance. Approved for level 3 “priority” over a year ago. Now being offered level 2, with the paperwork taking weeks. It’s grossly unethical to throw funding crumbs to avoid bad press or buy votes. Shame on you ScottMorrisonMP auspol

Aged care funding boosted ahead of commission | Sky News AustraliaThe federal government has announced a $662 million funding boost to the aged care sector, ahead of the royal commission into the industry. \n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison says every Australian in residential aged care will have an extra $1800 spent on their care by June as part of the funding, with $320 million set to be rolled out to residential facilities in the coming months.\n\nThe royal commission into aged care quality and safety will start hearing evidence in Adelaide on Monday.\n\n\n\n COTAAustralia How about family offer to keep them in their home and elderly realise this a great option, instead of entering a business system - last resort, COTAAustralia and again, labors media ads created by a dumb LNP government with AGED CARE MINISTER KEN WYATT denying an aged care royal commission was needed, sound familiar. Just hand over the keys to labor for 3 years & think in opposition about 6 years of disasterous LNP government.

Confronting aged care inquiry likely to uncover ugly truths as PM boosts fundingThe Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety is expected to uncover some ugly truths when it starts on Monday. Hope it doesn’t take to long for the obvious reason. This is a jumbled mess. One day I will get old & end up in a place where I will be abused, showered in icy cold water, bashed up 4 no obvious reason, threatened & it scares the hell out of me. It’s in the news daily but I dunno if anything is done about it. I just wish to die before I end there😟

Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety: How did we get here?The first witnesses today will detail the maltreatment of their loved ones as the inquiry looks to shine a light on a broken system. Thanks to persistence of families who's loved ones were abused. They didn't allow the issue to be swept under the carpet any longer. We got here because some people no longer care about their aging family members - and on the other side some aging family members can be bloody minded
