This book was completed while Australia's Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety was investigating widespread concerns about the industry. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic also highlighted the vulnerability of elderly people in residential aged care. Like many others, the authors had a strong desire to enhance the lives of aged care residents and were driven to record their thoughts and offer suggestions for possible improvements. Written by two retired social workers with relevant personal and professional experience, Still Caring is an informative and insightful read for anyone, anywhere who is supporting an elderly person in residental aged care.
