In Conclusion – the data lines up with what providers are saying:

� The overall population in aged residential care:� Is Older� Stays less time� Requires more help from staff� Is significantly more dependent than before

� As the population continues to age, the proportion of people with cognitive issues will increase

� The need for aged residential care will increase as these changes occur

� Models of care need to be updated to match the population demographic changes

Healthcare for Older People in Residential Care Healthcare for Older People in Residential Care ----Who Cares?Who Cares?

Leon Flicker, Med J Aus 2000; 173: 77-79

Increasing needs should be met with improved organisation of services, such as:

� Provide a multidisciplinary team approach to healthcare deliveryin residential facilities

� Establish strategic partnerships with educational institutions, expert groups and professional organisations to establish what is currently accepted as best practice in residential care

� Develop nursing professional and best practice guidelines

� Allot appropriate resources to implement best practice guidelines

Facility Feedback

� “This programme offers so much to the private facilities!”

� “It is important that the relationship between all parties is positive and mutual respect is maintained…The group meetings allow for this to happen…”

� “The relationship built with our GNS has been invaluable. Her knowledge is enormous…”

� “… the nursing staff feel there is someone on our side from the DHB who we can call on at any time to share a concern with or just ask for advice.”

� “…Feel there has been a 'closing of the gap' between WDHB and Private Hospital Care.”
