                                            Behind every calm smile in aged care, there’s often a heavy load.
Staff carry the stories of residents, the distress of families, and the weight of clinical responsibility. It’s easy to forget to ask the simple question that might help them keep going.
On RUOK? Day, don’t stop at small talk. Check in properly:
👉 How are you coping this week?
👉 What’s felt hardest lately?
👉 Do you need me to step in?
Mental health in aged care isn’t only a resident issue. It’s a workforce issue too. And a conversation today might prevent a crisis tomorrow.
