Older people living at home

Summary

Senator Byrne says ALONE’s presentation showed the need for stronger supports so older people can remain at home comfortably and with dignity.

The housing agency, ALONE, made a presentation in Buswells Hotel this morning on supporting older people in their homes in order that they could live in comfort. As some people have problems with their health or loneliness, there is a need to provide supports for them. As people are living longer and have better health, the Government needs to put a plan in place to sustain and keep them at home in a comfortable condition.
