National Push for Aged Care Ratios: Aged Care Nurses Around Australia Will Soon Have an Opportunity to Help Put an End To Chron

Abstract

The push for national aged care ratios in Australia is gaining momentum, with aged care nurses leading the charge to put an end to chronic understaffing. This essay explores the implications of implementing mandated staff-to-patient ratios in aged care facilities and the potential impact on the quality of care provided to our elderly population. Through a review of existing literature and data, the methods, results, and discussions presented here shed light on the urgent need for reform in the aged care sector.
