Overseas travel expands knowledge

CEO Richard Hearn travelled to Norway to attend the IAHSA Conference in July 2005. As part of this international trip, he also visited a number of dementia and aged care services in England.

Richard’s primary observations were:

• The important developments in information and communication technology in the delivery of aged care services.

• The emergence of greater choice in who provides services to an individual within a community program

• The great degree of accommodation choice in residential care and balancing the short-term needs of individuals who have an acute illness and who wish to return home, in comparison with those who may need long term service support in residential or community settings.
