    Elderly woman found alive with her loyal dog after three days in wilderness—‘this is a miracle’

    Lack of availability for Services within the CHSP

    What I have been saying for a long time. Providers of both Age Care and NDIS, popped up out of nowhere, and no check done. Having worked in Age Care for many years, know how it works, (worked for a Great Company) who are still going. Have seen and heard what has been going on...

    Are you reheating these foods? See the deadly mistake you could be making according to dietitians!

    Also, it is commonsense, to place in the fridge any food, once it has partially cooled. One doesn`t have to wait until it is completely cold. But I do put my rice in the fridge, after cooking it, but then I only use Brown, Red or Black. So maybe white rice is a bit different.

    You could be eating these pesticide-laced foods every day – and they're linked to cancer in 1 in 8 men. Find out now to protect yourself!

    And also buy Organic. GMO food covered in poison. No wonder there are so many people with food allergies in this country. Most other countries have banned GMO seeds and poisons. Unfortunately, Australia follows America so Monsanto have a `foot plus` in the door here.

    Avoid this costly blunder to protect your summer getaway and save big

    I think they do. I know we had ours checked by our mechanic each year for registration, (NSW) and when we were heading off for a long haul, (across the Nullabor) we took it to the weigh bridge after we had packed both car and van. When moving to QLD, no car or van check needed for...

    They could still help you be going online and finding out what Providers are in your area. But it all has to go through My Age Care. You need to ring them and ask to help. It doesn`t matter where you or Family live. Most is done online anyway, until a Provider is contacted, then...

    Shifting meat consumption trends: How rising prices and changing preferences are impacting Australia's economy

    You would have to get intouch with My Age Care, and then they will help you through the process of getting a Provider who supplies help as we get older. Since you have had a stroke, obviously you were in hospital, the Hospital Social Worker should have helped you with all that. If...

    Discover the Surprising Impact of Maggie Beer's Mission to Transform Aged Care Home Cuisine!

    Yes, because it is certainly needed. Having worked in a couple of Nursing homes before I retired, the food was overcooked and uninteresting. 75% went into the pig bucket. Well hopefully it went to feed pigs and not into land fill. None of the staff really knew.
