Good interview here about the necessity of retaining older people in the work place. It also highlights the importance of our work force to be more proactive in combatting obstructive attitudes around ageism.
And ..the data is compelling globally.

A big happy 100th birthday to this beautiful lady!! Laurel Iris Turner, born 28/11/1919 in Boulder, Western Australia. Still lives at home with her son & 2 Grandsons, Olivier 9 & Aidan 7. Her eldest grandson Jason was born 44 years before her second Grandson. Laurel loves outings every Wednesday with her daughter Niki . They still share a Chinese lunch at Eastwood & then head over to the Epping Club where Laurel is still famously winning more meat raffles than anyone else ! What is her secret we ask ? Simple ! Laurel never stops smiling. 😍
Thank you Niki Turner for sharing these photos of your beautiful mum 🙏She is an absolute inspiration! 💕
A wonderful story, I hope I can be like Laurel 💞💞
Such a beautiful, inspirational lady! So much love for you all. 😍😍

Government promises no-one under 65 will live in residential aged care by 2025
The Federal Government will spend more than half a billion dollars on the aged care sector after the aged care royal commission's damning interim report labelled it a shocking tale of neglect.Beautiful photo shoot and great reminder to get lots of pictures of grandparents. I wish I had more as well.

I Capture Grandparents With Their Grandkids Because No One Ever Photographed Me With Mine (12 Pics)
When I look back at all my family photo albums, there is not a single image I find with my grandparents. There are images with mom, dad, my brother..What’s interesting with this photo shoot and societies most common age depiction , is that these grandparents appear to be well in advance of the actual average age of grandparents which is 50 for women and 52 for men. Statistically the over 80’s age group are often great grandparents. I’ve often wondered why we tend to relate the image of grandparents with being quite elderly. www.legacyproject.org/specialreports/fastfacts.html
I wish my girls grew up with their grandparents. So blessed if yours do ❤️
Great article and excellent emphasis on what aged care really does and should mean .
“At its heart, to care is to enter into a relationship with a person and to seek the person’s wellbeing — a wellbeing that goes beyond the physical aspects of health to include the social, emotional, psychological and spiritual flourishing of the individual”.
This is the philosophy and core of our business.
