This publication details the challenges faced by an ageing population in South Australia and investigates how outcomes can be improved for older people in caring roles and relationships.
Joining together the cities of Salisbury and Unley with two not-for-profit service providers in Helping Hand Aged Care and ACH Group, with collaboration from the city of Salisbury, the project considers research indicating the critical role of family in caring situations and through a process of interviews and fieldwork explores the outlook and emotions experienced by older individuals and from this research, strategies are identified to improve their attitudes, perceptions and relationships.
