Those of us in everyday land have known for yonks that decent and proper aged care is hard to find... too many profiteers & 'money for jam' types investing and running the places. My old man has been in BaptCare for about 3 years now and even though he's a pr1ck we used to -- until C-19 -- visit him regularly (even though he's a whingeing manipulative pr1ck, he's still blood). And the meals the folks were given were so cheap and basic it was embarrassing, along with what seemed to be 'bargain basement' staff. Some were so ill-suited to aged care it was embarrassing... just a job, and barely had a handle on English - sorry if that seems racist, just stating a fact. On the upside, his room was always very clean, they let him have his whiskey every day and I always get a call if anything is wrong with him. The older woman who is the boss where my old man is runs a tight ship and my comms with her have always be honest, up front and real. I'm not surprised they've had no C-19 cases/deaths.This is the best country in the world by a mile, but it farken sucks to get old in this joint.
My issues with aged care and how it is run, is with the meals, things for the older cats to do during the day and the profiteering bastards who get involved in this sector - glad there is a Royal Commission into the entire business.
