Aged care can feel confusing, whether you're starting to look for yourself or helping someone you love.
Aged Care Conversations by Harbourside is here to make it easier. In each episode, host Kylie Jacques sits down with the people who know aged care best: the staff who provide care every day, and the residents and families who have lived it.
Together they talk plainly about the questions people really ask. How does support at home work? What is retirement living actually like? How do you choose a provider? And how do you look after yourself when you're the one caring?
