General Practice Care in Residential Aged Care Homes
The growing population of older adults residing in Australian residential aged care homes (RACHs) is driving an increased demand for general practitioner (GP) involvement to meet their complex healthcare needs. This scoping review sought to synthesise the evidence on general practice care models implemented within RACHs over the past decade (2013–2023), assessing their structure, effectiveness and implications for Australia’s future healthcare st…
Staff perspectives on end-of-life care for people living with dementia in residential aged care homes
Aged care staff are committed to providing person-centered palliative and end-of-life care for people living with dementia, recognizing the intrinsic value of each resident, regardless of their declining state. Frontline and managerial staff consider advance care planning, collectively working as part of a multidisciplinary team, access to targeted palliative and end-of-life education and training, and engaging families as key priorities to provi…
Australian residential aged care home staff experiences of implementing an intervention to improve palliative and end‐of‐life care for residents
Access to high-quality and safe evidence-based palliative care (PC) is important to ensure good end-of-life care for older people in residential aged care homes (RACHs). However, many barriers to providing PC in RACHs are frequently cited. The Quality End-of-Life Care (QEoLC) Project was a multicomponent intervention that included training, evidence-based tools and tele-mentoring, aiming to equip healthcare professionals and careworkers in RACHs …
Designing residential aged care for people at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness
The number of older people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, both long-term and first-time homelessness, is increasing. The proportion of women facing homelessness within that cohort is also increasing. When combined with complex health needs, appropriate long-term care options remain limited. This qualitative study conducted in Sydney, Australia, aimed to explore the care needs of older people with comorbid health issues who are facing ho…
Perspectives of Australian family carers of people with dementia on the 'cottage' model of respite
The majority of people living with dementia reside in the community and are often reliant on the support of informal carers to do so. Family carers face many challenges in supporting the person with dementia to remain at home, and short-term respite care is a valued service that offers a temporary break from the role. Respite cottages provide short-term care in a residential home-like setting with a limited number of clients and is a more flexibl…
Arts on prescription for community-dwelling older people with a range of health and wellness needs
Published evidence for the role of participatory art in supporting health and well-being is growing. The Arts on Prescription model is one vehicle by which participatory art can be delivered. Much of the focus of Arts on Prescription has been on the provision of creative activities for people with mental health needs. This Arts on Prescription program, however, targeted community-dwelling older people with a wide range of health and wellness need…
Can specially trained community care workers effectively support patients and their families in the home setting at the end of life
Surveys indicate that many Australians would prefer to die at home, but relatively few do. Recognising that patients and their families may not have the support they need to enable end-of-life care at home, a consortium of care providers developed, and received funding to trial, the Palliative Care Home Support Program (PCHSP) across seven health districts in New South Wales, Australia. The programme aimed to supplement end-of-life care in the ho…
