As she got older, frailer and the stints in hospital more frequent, there were discussions about moving her into an aged care facility.

However, she was quick to shut that conversation down.

My grandmother had no intention of leaving her home. It was conveniently close to her family and contained a lifetime of memories.

And she never really warmed to the idea of moving in with strangers.

For several years she received in home care and between her carers and her family was well looked after. But eventually she did move into an aged care facility, but never really felt at home there.

She died a few months later.

An increasing number of older people are choosing to be cared for at home. And it’s no surprise given the problems plaguing aged care.

Twenty years' worth of inquiries, reviews, consultations and task forces into the aged care sector have revealed cases of inadequate care, negligence and abuse.

The industry has also been beset by staff shortages, cost pressures and poor working conditions. And yet, we are still waiting for many of the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety to be implemented.

So what needs to change to ensure the elderly get the best possible care?

An expert panel will discuss the future of aged care at our next Mornings Spotlight Forum at ABC studios and I'd love you to join us for the discussion.
