Regional Nursing Homes Under Scrutiny - COTA SA

Half of the aged care homes that have been identified as ‘below standard’ in South Australia are in regional areas, prompting calls for better incentives to encourage workers to move to remote locations.

The Aged Care Quality Safety Commission (ACQSC) has imposed non-compliance orders against 16 SA aged care homes. including Strathalbyn and District Aged Care, Aminya Village Hostel in Mannum and Aldinga Beach Court.

CEO of COTA SA, Jane Mussared, joins Jennie Lenman in this podcast to talk about the issue and discuss the recent Country Conversations in Murray Bridge.
