Tall Trees Rochedale Care Community Invites Seniors to Morning Tea on 10 December 2014 to Learn about Consumer Directed Care (CDC)
Announcement posted by Tall Trees Care Communities 05 Dec 2014
Founder of premier alternative to aged care in Brisbane and Gold Coast areas schedules informative seminar on what CDC means to the future of aged care.
Australia, 05 December 2014 - The Australian Government has created a model of consumer directed care (CDC) for the aged care industry. The Government has scheduled CDC to take effect in July 2015.
Tall Trees Care Communities have been ahead of the curve since their inception. When co-founder Phil Usher helped establish Tall Trees Care Communities, the first person he asked for advice was his mother. She told him that she didn’t want to be “bossed around all day” and that she wanted to retain her independence.
Phil Usher and his co-founders would subsequently talk to many more elderly citizens to help provide a consensus on what a great aged care facility would offer. After volumes of feedback, they learned that the most common themes were independence and dignity. Consequently, they decided on the model of consumer directed care, long before the Government was even discussing it.
Tall Trees Care Communities worked hard to produce a business model that nurtured, protected and encouraged the independence and dignity of their residents. They produced a motto which became their mission: “If it’s not good enough for our mums and dads, it’s just not good enough.”
The Tall Trees Care Communities Model of CDC
At Tall Trees Care Communities, the business model is akin to that of a high-end retirement community combined with the best features of an aged care facility. They provide the option of living in your own home at Tall Trees and have pioneered the CDC concept. With changes coming into play, residents will be able to obtain assistance in applying for home care packages once they are assessed.
Tall Trees Care Communities also provides the security of 24 hour staffing seven days a week and a wide range of services designed to enhance independence and more choices for their residents.
The Results
According to Phil Usher:
“We set out to provide an alternative to the traditional aged care or nursing home model and provide our neighbours in the Brisbane and Gold Coast areas with the best living situation we could produce for them. We think we have succeeded far beyond what we had originally hoped for.”
Phil Usher concluded, “We are glad to see that the Government wants the aged care industry to catch up with what we have done since the beginning.”
