In partnership the University of Melbourne and MacKillop Institute are calling for a whole of sector rethink about the delivery of residential aged care in Australia. The researchers believe the system – widely considered unsustainable in its existing form – should move beyond its current ‘nursing’ model. In contrast, we should conceptualise residential settings as ‘intentional communities’ that provide a home ‘sanctuary’ for residents.
