A BIG THANK YOU for all aged care workers and professionals doing their absolute best on a daily basis for older Australians under the current aged care system.

We recognize the hard work and diligence of our team members, as well as care staff, nurses and managers at our partner facilities.

With the Interim Report from Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety publishing some damming findings of the Aged Care system, let’s not forget about the many aged care workers and professionals who consistently provide compassionate and caring services to older people living in residential aged care facilities.

We would like to extend a big thank you to Lauren, a student from La Trobe University who was on placement with us over the summer break. Lauren had a big impact with many of the residents and will be deeply missed. It was fantastic to have you working with us and we wish you the best of luck with your studies. You have a bright future ahead, and we look forward to our paths crossing again in the future.

In Australia, dementia is the greatest cause of disability in adults over the aged of 65. One in 10 people over the age of 65, and three in 10 people over the age of 85 is estimated to have dementia. In the residential aged care setting, people with dementia accounts for about 52% of all residents.

Exercise has been scientifically proven to have a protective effect against cognitive decline and reduces risk of cognitive regression. Click on the link below for an intriguing and informative article prepared by a diligent and passionate physiotherapy student on placement with us.

We are very pleased to welcome Daniel Viola to the ProActive Care team.

Daniel is an Osteopath who is deeply motivated to work within aged care being inspired when his grandfather sadly passed away in a residential aged care facility.

Daniel joined our team after seeing how much of an impact can be made on the lives of the elderly and how important it is to give back to those who can benefit the most.

Awesome to have you working with us Daniel.
