in aged care, allowing couples to maintain their relationships even as they age.“As adults, we’re used to sleeping in bigger beds. Yet aged care facilities often reduce people to single beds. It just doesn’t make sense,” Chadwick says. Partnerships with suppliers, such as Woolworths and Coles, further emphasize this commitment. By providing familiar grocery items, Chadwick ensures that residents continue enjoying the exact products they did at home, keeping their lives routine and comfortable. Similarly, collaboration with Wentworth Furniture led to the introduction of full-sized beds, another thoughtful initiative. Ultimately, NewDirection Care exemplifies how aged care can honor the person, not the patient. As Chadwick reflects, “We all age, and we can all age well if given the right support.Aging isn’t something to fear, but something to embrace.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Matrix CNI www.matrixcni.com.au Matrix CNI is the managed Network Security partner of choice for Aged Care Providers in Australia.
