Iām a nurse practitioner working in specialist palliative aged care. Let me share with you just a little bit about what happens in a residential aged care facility/ānursing homeā that doesnāt have registered nurses 24/7 365 days of the year.
A 99 year old who has clearly stated his wishes in an advance care plan NOT to be transferred to hospital has a fall in the bathroom at midnight. The ambulance is called by the carers and he is taken to hospital. He develops delirium & dies four days later in hospital.
An 88 year old lady with dementia aspirates some of the biscuit she ate with her bedtime warm milk. In the small hours of the morning she develops a fever & canāt breathe properly. No one notices until the morning RN has finished med rounds at 0930.
Happy nurses after listening to @AlboMP promising to fix the #AgedCareCrisis in his right of reply to the Budget tonight.
Ratios in aged care, registered nurses on site 24/7, nutrition standards, 215 minutes of direct care for residents by carers, backing the increased wages for aged care workers with the Fair Work Commission and accountability for every dillar received in Gov funding by providers.
The Labor Party are promising to put the CARE back in #agedcare and implement the Royal Commission recommendations

The way that older Australians are being treated by the government and certain sections of the community is dreadful.
The situation being described in this article must be so scary for people, and so undignified.

IDK how many feel as I do that the Morrison lead government will not bring out #Budget2021
For all thinking people it appears the we are now in an undeclared Federal election campaign
The impact of the Opposition`s attack on all of Morrison`s failures

has finally cut through
Media cannot find positives to promote this LNP government any further
A further eroding of the Democratic process in shutting down debate in #HoR question time cannot be defended by the #MSM, nor can it be glossed over

Also, the impact of the new US Biden admin with it`s #NetZeroBy2050 & return to the #ParisAgreement will see Morrison not only further sidelined by global powers it will see him totally isolated in #ClimateChangeDenialism
