In the face of aged care workforce shortages, ongoing regulatory changes, and increasing demand for care services, Enabling Aging in Place focuses on the value of investing in innovation so individuals can live safely and independently in their own homes and communities while also receiving the necessary support for their health and well-being.
Embracing alternative models of care, new technologies, and capitalising on the volunteer workforce will help strike a balance between maintaining independence, dignity, and security for those requiring residential aged care and can help facilitate a smoother transition to live-in care if and when it becomes necessary.
We believe there are four key areas of innovation that can create a sustainable approach to supporting older individuals to age in place:
- Investment in monitoring tools and technologies to address consumer expectations and enhance safety.
- Integrating health and social care to create a seamless care ecosystem and support policy advocacy.
- Expanding the concept of virtual wards to individuals ageing in place.
- Capitalise on the existing community and volunteer workforce to deliver care.
Embracing innovation together will transform the aged care landscape, ensuring our ageing population enjoys a high quality of life, independence, and dignity.
