3AGED CAREOnline discussion: Activity 2ByAngela Herd- Tuesday, 12 September 2017, 1:43 PMAs far as the Australian old aged population is concerned, they wish to have a healthy,free and independent life. This work of care giving must be shared between the family, theGovernment and the paid carers (Nagata et al., 2016). Efforts are to be made so that thecommunity as a whole must care for the aged people. Six priority areas have been identified inorder to promote health and wellbeing, resilience and also to provide financial support to theaged people. These six areas are recognition and respect, information and access, economicsecurity, services for carers, education and training, and health and well-being. As responsiblemembers of a community, we must get together and see that proper care is given to the olderpeople so that they do not have to seek shelter in the retirement villages or anywhere away fromtheir houses. Living alone during the old age can be one of the major factors leading to the entryin the residential homes. Hence, care must be taken so that the community as a whole supportsthe old people and also shares this task of old age care (Edvardsson et al., 2014). The communitymust arrange for all the facilities like pathological, intense high level nursing etc. If all theseservices can be rendered to the old people from the community itself, then the old people mightbe able to stay at home for the maximum length of their lifetime.Re: Online discussion: Activity 2ByTara Lee O'Donoghue- Monday, 18 September 2017, 3:54 PM
