Problem: In Australia and around the world, the number of older people is increasing. While many older people continue to live active lives, others may experience a higher incidence of disease and disability as they age. Older people who need support to continue the activities of living, may seek access to services. In rural and remote areas of Australia, older people often find it harder to access aged care services due to the distance and remoteness of Australia.
In this report you are required to:
- Critically analyse systems to ensure older people are able to access support.
- Critique the existing support systems for older people in rural and remote areas.
- Suggest ways to improve aged care services for older people in rural and remote areas.
