Far and wide The staff who work for Hall & Prior Health & Aged Care Group in WA and NSW are drawn from over 80 countries around the world - which makes for a rich and varied tapestry of cultures in each and every home. The 3,349 staff who residents, friends and family encounter at the 36 Hall & Prior aged care homes in WA and NSW range in age from 16 to 79. Between them, they have worked over three million floor hours (according to statistics compiled for 2023/24). Perhaps more astonishingly than these mindboggling numbers are the fact that they come from 86 countries around the world and speak 66 languages between them. Females make up 82% of the workforce, with the top five languages spoken are English, Nepali, Dzongkha, Tagalog and Punjabi. To illustrate the incredible diaspora of our staff, we asked a few what they loved about their home country, and their new home in Australia, working for Hall & Prior. Their responses show what a truly diverse group of people work here at Hall & Prior, bringing a little of their culture to each and every interaction. As the cover story for the latest edition of Life & Love Magazine, it was wonderful to hear about the countries, often far from Australia, which our staff come from, and why they love their new home here, down under.

Recipe for success The Hall & Prior Aged Care Nutrition & Hydration team and the Learning & Development team are bringing innovation to residential care meals and dining experience by focusing on creating leaders in our kitchens. Aged care food and nutrition is a top priority for the Australian Government and is going to be strictly monitored by the the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (ACQSC) through the new Food & Nutrition Standards. Here at Hall & Prior, at the heart of all quality service is a dedication to education and training of staff to ensure a consistently high level of meals and service is delivered to our aged care home residents. During September, Hall & Prior implemented The Culinary Health and Excellence in Food Service (CHEFS) Mentoring Program which was held at Georges Estate in Penshurst, NSW. This innovative program has been established to: • prepare cooks and chefs for the new Food & Nutrition Standard; • enhance their catering skills; • enhance personal leadership skills; • apply effective feedback management; and • support a person-centred approach to nutrition and dining experience Support for aged care meals Cooks and chefs are pivotal positions to ensure that quality food and dining experience is delivered in the aged care environment. Organiser of the Mentoring Program and Dietitian at Hall & Prior, Valentina Giannelli is driving the new program. “Mentoring our chefs builds confidence to empower them to personally engage with our residents and their families about food and dining experiences in their homes,” she said. “Through this program, we support the chefs to take a leadership role in their kitchen to ensures that we are consistently providing nutritious and appetising meals, including for those on texture-modified diets." The CHEFS Program Currently, all 13 NSW Hall & Prior homes provide freshly cooked meals prepared in on-site kitchens. The new mentoring program will prepare our staff for the 2025 Food & Nutrition Standards while enhancing catering skills and developing leadership abilities. “Hall & Prior are proud to promote ‘cooking from fresh’ in our homes and our teams are always striving to utilise fresh ingredients, minimising premade products to ensure residents enjoy dining on natural products packed full of nutritional benefits,” said Ms Giannelli. “The first session has been delivered with wonderful results and great support. We were honoured to host expert external speakers Michelle McCracken (Accredited Practising Dietitian & Culinary Nutrition Manager) and Elke Travers (Commercial Development Chef) from Nestle Professional, who shared their knowledge on culinary nutrition and creative meal presentation.” The CHEFS Mentoring Program will consist of quarterly full-day sessions that will provide both external and internal speakers to cover a variety of topics including food presentation, food safety, dining experience and much more.

Interim Care unit opens in Subiaco's Hamersley Nursing Home In a groundbreaking partnership between Hall & Prior Aged Care Group and the WA Department of Health, Hall & Prior have commissioned a specialised nine-bed Interim Care Program at Hamersley Nursing Home in Subiaco. The partnership sees the creation of a dedicated nine-bed wing that will provide patients in WA public hospitals with the opportunity to receive high quality aged care while they finalise their plans for permanent care. This may entail organising their financial affairs or waiting for a bed to become available at their residential aged care home of choice. Hall & Prior Chief Operating Officer Daniel Hitchcock stated that the partnership provides the opportunity for patients who are on a pathway to residential aged care the opportunity to plan their permanent home and care needs, while at the same time providing high quality aged care. "Once admitted, residents also receive access to our team of social workers and placement specialists who will help them and their family decide on their permanent home," said Mr Hitchcock. The partnership will also free up hospital beds for those that need acute care. #agedcare #respitecare #subiaco #westernaustralia #interimcare

Media release – Hall & Prior NEW LAWS TO LIFT AGED CARE STANDARDS 12 September 2024 Perth-based family owned-aged care provider, Hall & Prior has welcomed the new Aged Care Act as the next step in high quality aged care for all Australians – to the benefit of those in care, their friends, families and the sector more broadly. “As aged care providers, it is our responsibility to embrace the reform and to ensure that every Australian receives quality care, choice and compassion in their later years,” said Mr Graeme Prior, Chief Executive. “While many of the changes are already incorporated in our daily practices, like all providers, we will look at gaps and adapt accordingly. “Hall & Prior supported the establishment of the Aged Care Royal Commission to take a microscope to sector standards, accountability and oversight arrangements; and we remain leaders in the call for reflection and improvement. “The Aged Care Act is a significant step forward and we see Hall & Prior as the champions of change in this arena. As professionals we will embrace the change as we continue to strive for improvement.” The Aged Care Act was introduced to the Australian Parliament today. It is designed to strengthen Australia's aged care system and ensure people who access Australian Government-funded aged care services are able to enjoy the quality of life they deserve. The laws are due to come into effect on 1 July 2025. Hall & Prior is a family-owned aged care provider operating 36 residential aged care homes, with in-home and community care programmes across Western Australia and New South Wales.
