    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).

  5. @treleanor While it's great to see attention on malnutrition in aged care, the root of the problem lies in the privatisation of the system. The focus on cost-cutting has led to seniors being treated like numbers, not people, and now we're turning to lupins, which feel more like livestock feed than proper nutrition. Real care means investing in quality meals and support for the elderly, not finding the cheapest solution. #malnutrition #agedcare #privatisation #elderlycare #qualitycare #costcutting #seniorhealth #nutritionmatters #lupins #dignityforall #healthoverprofit
