Royal Commission Findings: The Need for a CarePlus™ Solution

[Perth, 9 December 2019] On October 31, the Royal Commission released its findings following an investigation into the ongoing practices in Australian aged care facilities, described as a ‘sad and shocking system that diminishes Australia as a nation’.[1]

 The three main points the inquires revealed are: 

(1) Provide home care packages to reduce the waiting list for placement in aged care;

(2) Respond to the ‘significant’ overreliance on chemical restraint;

(3) Stop young people with disabilities entering aged care and expedite getting young people currently in aged care facilities out.[2]

CarePlus™ offers sophisticated Nurse Call and targeted safety tools as immediate and viable solutions to these issues.
