TASK DESCRIPTION
Aged Care

Nearly half live with their spouse or partner and more than 1.2 million receive aged care services and three quarters receive home support.

Consider and discuss the psychological impacts (e.d. loneliness, isolation) on residents in aged care facilities with the visitor restrictions implemented in response to COVID-19.
- In 2020, approximately 1.6 million people in Australia are estimated to be caring for someone living with dementia. Consider and discuss COVID-19 related challenges experienced, and support required, by older people with dementia and/or their carers who are living in the community.
