NARI has launched a new training course, aimed at improving the quality of care for people living with dementia who experience difficulties with continence. The course will provide knowledge, skills and resources of the highest level to carers, allowing them to better support older people to age well.
As part of NAIDOC Week celebrations, SBS will feature the film, Art Centres Keep our Elders Connected, exploring the significant role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled art centres play in nurturing the health and wellbeing of older people and people living with dementia in remote communities across Australia.
Academic and Registered Nurse, Professor Joan Ostaszkiewicz, together with her colleagues at the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI), was awarded a $5000 funding prize for vital research into the experiences, expectations, and preferences for continence care in residential aged care homes.
NARI has launched the next phase of its Moving Pictures project – ADAPT – an accessible animation aimed at dementia prevention, available in 10 languages.
NARI has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ACH Group, one of South Australia’s leading aged care providers, bringing the organisations together to improve the health and wellbeing of older people.
‘What do older people want from their healthcare?’ – a new report by NARI – has revealed older Victorians have a lack of trust in, and understanding of, the health and aged care systems.
