When choosing an aged care facility, it's easy to get caught up in reviews or other perople's opinion—however are they actually reliable? 🤔 Here are some things to consider: 👉 Check the source, as some may be paid for. 👉 Subjectivity: Reviews can reflect personal opinions, sometimes driven by unrealistic expectations or even negative bias from competitors. 👉 Firsthand Feedback: What do current and past residents (and their families) say? Just because it is right for their care needs does not mean it will be right for you care needs. 👉 Remember the person showing you around the home is a salesperson and may not be able to deliver on their promises. At Well Placed Care, we help you navigate reviews and feedback, ensuring you make a well-informed decision for your loved one. #Wellplacedcare #ChoosingAgedCare #InformedDecisions #CareThatMatters #AgedCareAdvice #ReliableReviews #PersonalisedCare #AgedCareSupport #NavigateAgedCare #TrustworthyGuidance #WellPlacedCare

Falls are the leading cause of injury in older Australians, with 1 in 3 people over 65 experiencing a fall each year. These incidents can lead to serious health complications, but many falls are preventable with the right measures in place. Consider installing grab bars, using non-slip mats, and ensuring adequate lighting to make the home environment safer. Small changes can make a big difference in reducing fall risks.
