What a shame our system is so disjointed to the extent that the standard of care afforded to our elderly is low and that money is spent on pursuits of border protection and military, pink batts and NBN Broadband. That we have politicians concerned about folks being called Dames and Sir while the opposition continue on with their inward looking thought bubbles imposing taxes and wasting public money only to raise taxes and cut pensions in any way possible to demonstrate responsible economic management. All it seems with little compassion for our most vulnerable. Meanwhile our elderly are left, well, forgotten to a large extent. Apparently they are important for consideration, it seems, but only at election time. This system is broken and needs to start with proper levels of funding from government, proper accountable systems to the owners of aged care facilities, recognition of elder abuse factors in the legal system, proper levels of education for all involved in providing advice in the sector and getting the retirees of the future prepared for the fact that old age will occur to all. The current nonsense in this sector leaves those facing the aged care system so vulnerable. So very vulnerable to the behaviour of some very questionable players in the system. That is sad. Very sad. Are those in charge blind or is it they merely choose to not see.
