Hi There Molly and all...

Aged Care. Are you kidding....there is ALWAYS a big demand for beds. Once our people go to heaven, well, the bed is virtually filled.

There is long waiting lists with the aging occupation. Where are there empty beds? Our Sunshine Coast facility certainly doesn't want any empty beds as that means less money to claim. Aged care is a REAL business and of course staffing is never where it ought to be. Always sort and without ratios of staff that would truly do our aged deserve.

There are new facilities popping up all the time and never a lack of interest in the beds...
