So let me get this straight, a 20sqm room in a for-profit aged care facility requires a $1.95m deposit and $10k a month in fees.
And the cheaper $1.25m rooms? When residents die, they get renovated and re-listed for $1.65m.
This is the market delivering for our most vulnerable. Aged care isn't about care anymore, it's about property speculation, cheap labour, and siphoning public money.
Meanwhile, the bed blockers (a cruel term for frail older people) are stuck in hospital because they can't find a bed, even if they can afford a $750k deposit.
This is what happens when you privatise essential services. Profit becomes the goal. People become the product. And the system becomes a nightmare to navigate for those who can least cope.#AusPol #AgedCare #PrivatisationFails

@andyjennings
Sure, but it is indicative of the parlous state of #AgedCare in the hands of #ProfitMaking #Grifters — which is not to deride everyone in aged care, where I am sure well-meaning individuals in aged care provider businesses ought to extract some profit to *live* on (whether wages or salary).The definitive public discourse ought to be about #Grifters and large enterprises with questionable morals/ethics and of course the bigger issue of #StateCapture (private profits v social debt).

“[The] recently departed inspector general of aged care, Natalie Siegel-Brown,[…] believes the system should be turned upside down to start with the outcomes we want, rather than the mechanics of funding and services: to put care first, help people stay at home and connected to their communities. This already occurs with the aged veterans’ care program.”
While I concur 100% with her, there is no way in hell our govt (of any political persuasion) can ever do this while they are busy sticking gum here and there to hold the current systems together. Because that is all they will ever do. What then is the solution?
If one believes that nothing will ever happen to make aged care, affordable and…, well, caring, the answer is to have a *quality of life* Will and an nominated *Power Of Attorney for Health care* mandating AD (assisted dying) when circumstances become intolerable for lack of healthcare support.
The things we are forced to contemplate when irresponsible and deaf govts are in charge… btw, Agedcare **IS** Healthcare, there are no differences here.
If anyone has a better idea, I’ll listen intently, cause I have a stake in this.

A $1.95m deposit and $10k a month: welcome to the for-profit world of Australian aged care where no one is a winner | Julianne Schultz

Interacting with a bank?
Give them no information that you are not legally obliged to give them.
Account holder has died & you have a recognised Power of Attorney?
Don't tell the bank about the death unless you are legally obligated to.
Account holder has reduced capacity & you have a recognised Power of Attorney?
Don't tell the bank unless you are legally obligated to.
The bank will screw people over if in their best interest.

Why can't clinicians override inaccurate algorithm decisions?
By Anne ConnollyIf the government wants a true indication of the level of feeling in the community, perhaps it should read the thousands of comments on Facebook where discussions about the algorithm, long waitlists, and people dying are growing by the day.

Albanese government reduces home care waitlist by changing counting method
By Anne Connolly, Inga Ting, and Ninah KopelA Four Corners investigation can reveal the number of people waiting for full aged care funding at home stands at almost 154,000 — not 100,000 as officially reported.

yes, the government is stingy with aged care. They all are. But when you say "it's like Robodebt" then you are quite wrong. Robodebt was a group of senior ministers and public servants conspiring to create an algorithm that invented debts owed by recipients. Knowing that it was false. They then pursued those recipients with debt collectors and hounded a lot of them to death. The fact that not a single offender in this criminal conspiracy has been brought before a court is a scandal of the highest order. Be more careful with your language. #auspol #agedcare

Yes it’s an awful story on the ABC this morning. I feel very let down by Labor; the current minister for Aged Affairs is only there because of some dirty factional deal. He knows nothing of his new ministry and is unsuited to his post.

CW: German 1930's bureacracy 2/2
@26pglt
As we saw in #Australia's #InstitutionalisedChildAbuse, #AgedCare and #RoboDebt investigating commissions, the safeguards in place against malfunctioning bureaucracy have not been fit for purpose.And it's reasonable to say, "They are unfit for purpose today."
Any #PublicServant with knowledge who failed to show strong opposition to Robodebt continuing should be #Backwatered. These people cannot be trusted.
This happening?

@andyjennings @georgegalanis
It is the extent of the mistrust I think.Governments are far from perfect and recognising there have been serious problems in their functioning in areas such as #AgedCare, #RoboDebt, #InstitutionalisedAbuseOfChildren, pandemic preparations and spying on East Timor, is very different to saying there is deliberate plotting to make #Australia into a totalitarian state.
Dutton seems to be trying to create copies of the #Qld #SchoolPrincipal and wife who killed cops.
