Description

WHO defines Quality of Life as an individual's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns. It is a broad ranging concept affected in a complex way by the person's physical health, psychological state, personal beliefs, social relationships and their relationship to salient features of their environment.

We understand that there are a multitude of factors which affects healthy aging for older Australians. The main factors are biological, cultural background and history, clinical, environment, behavioural, psychosocial, socioeconomic status and financial health, and operator performance.

The recently released, Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Standards final report, revealed the poor state of the Australian Aged Care Industry and the terrible care received by older Australians.
