Younger People in Residential Aged Care
Generally, individuals below the age of 65 are not a suitable fit for residential aged care facilities, which are primarily designed to cater to the needs of older adults.
The unique and intricate situation of younger individuals in nursing homes intended for the elderly (referred to as YPIRAC) necessitates particular attention.
Addressing this issue mandates personalized assistance and continuous dialogues involving individuals, their families, and professionals spanning various fields such as disability, elderly care, health, and housing.
Establishing collaboration across all tiers of government is imperative to formulate effective remedies.
