#HumanRights4All are not the case in #Australia as the system is still excluding people living in residential aged care from equal access rights, allowing the #abuse #neglect #violence #segregation to continue Dementia Alliance International Linda Steele Daniella Greenwood Flinders Rehabilitation and Aged Care Research

Shame on you Richard M Colbeck When will you acknowledge that #agedcare is your responsibility. Instead, whilst residents & staff are dying without the care & support they need - you & Not ScoMo are off at the cricket #VoteThemAllOut2022

That’s why raising awareness is no longer the best way forward, but rather, a rights based approach so that all people, including PLWD are not left behind in the #SDGs It is time for equal access to the #CRPD as persons with #disabilities and #HumanRights4All Dementia Alliance International

1/Single-site orders are one of the BEST things emerging from COVID. Removing single-site orders is a mistake. 'Consistent' care assignments are critical to the delivery of high quality of care. @canadadementia @dementiacalgary Brenda Strafford Fdn Daniella Greenwood calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…

2/We need to figure out a way to pay staff fairly & to offer full-time employment with benefits. Developing personal relationships leads to dignified, respectful care.

If YOU need to live in care home, would YOU want over 20 people accessing your naked body, each week?

Grateful to have spoken just now with Piia Wirsu on ABC Northern Tasmania. With two days left until OPCAT is in effect, Tasmania has show leadership, comparative to the other jurisdictions, in enacting legislation and taking a broad approach to defining deprivation of liberty.
