What a great initiative!!!! Looking good makes you feel good. A great way to look at health care wholistically. Should be a must for all hospitals. Keith Donnelly is a great advocate and initiator - a wonderful human being, caring for others with a simple but effective idea. Well done.

I have this right now. Problem is I have been rubbing it under the eye and have this morning woken up with a black ring under it bruising after flicking tears off. I look like I have been beaten up. Happened before and clears up in a few days.

I have watched bits of 10News+ in the last week. It lacks soul. Although both presenters are experienced, likeable and familiar faces, they just do not gel together, they seem uncomfortable in their presentations which are a bit monochrome. 'The Project' was news told differently with...

Me too!

Wow!!!!! What a great model of creating as much normalcy as possible and give a dignified approach to individuality and care that is not imposed in an aged care model. The notion of community and normalcy is care allowing people to have a form of independence. I know, as I age, and things...

Sounds good in theory. Hope it is as easy to use as they are saying and that some one at the bank (when I visit) will be able to walk me through this - I prefer this way than read instructions.

Thank you Novezar. These places and alike look great on paper but there are so many hidden costs. I worry that if we have to go into care there will be insufficient funds to provide for this if we move into one of these establishments and then have to sell for the nursing home. I think we are...

This is what community is all about - looking out for and helping each other. Lovely story. I had a tear in my eye seeing something really good done by everyday people. We need more of this!

If I am not mistaken, I visited there some many years ago to go to the Grace Bros Good Buys store, an old Grace Bros store turned into a clearance outlet of Grace Bos excess and expired stock. The mall was quite run down then. It is not there anymore.

Sounds pretty good but how does it completely work - Strata fees? If there are no exit fees and less complications, how does it work. To pay for the facilities and the ongoing upkeep, money has to come from somewhere? Worth looking into but with caution.

I agree. I have noticed that assistants in many shops who are younger have little to no work ethic. Earlier this year, I was shopping and needed some help. There were a number of young assistants standing together gossiping. I politely asked if one of them were able to help me and was told by...

At least the council did something about fixing the error and listening to people using the road. Most councils ignore what the public says. A silly decision in the first place and waste of money but was fixed pretty quickly.

I am so lucky and blessed with my GP. He is only very young but is like the old fashioned family doctor. He used to be in our local community but moved and opened his own practice in another suburb closer to his home, and about 40 minutes travel for me. I changed practices because he is very...

Electricity is turning into a luxury item instead of a necessity. It is all about business and profit not about people.

We are now in the era of 'entitlement'. Here is a great example. It is all about me and forget everyone else!

Sorry state of affairs. What has become of our country?

How sad. A good example of what the new reforms to aged care are going to create!

Why the change - to save government money and put back on to seniors to pay highly inflated prices . I worry with the mess and poor management of the NDIS, what is this going to look like for aged care? I think it will be a similar story. I am sorry, but I have no confidence in this change. I do...

There has been so much advancement for serious medical conditions. Researching and trialing new drugs is essential to combat terrible diseases and conditions. There has been so much gained in new treatments through drugs and different approaches. Governments need to invest more into research to...
