πŸŽ™οΈ About This Episode:
Missed some of our recent episodes or just need a quick refresher on navigating the complex world of in-home aged care? We’ve got you covered! In this special Revision Episode, Giovanni and Giselle are stripping away the jargon and bringing you the absolute best, highest-value clips from our recent expert conversations. Whether you are a care partner, a family decision-maker, or looking at support for yourself, this episode serves as your ultimate tactical guide for safe, independent living at home.
πŸ“‹ In this revision episode, you will review:
Nutrition & Healthy Ageing: How to spot the subtle, hidden signs of malnutrition (like loose jewellery or ill-fitting dentures) and the real daily protein targets for seniors.
Your Voice, Your Care: Why fully managed care beats the stress and legal liability of self-management, and why you should register with My Aged Care long before a health crisis hits.
Proactive Physiotherapy: How to identify "near-misses" at home (like furniture surfing) and how the power of "reablement" can actively reverse physical decline.
Smarter Medication Management: The truth about preventable medication-related harm and how a free Home Medicines Review (HMR) keeps your loved one safe.

Family carers balancing busy lives while managing an ageing parent's package.
