HEALTH

Advocating for change to keep pets with their owners when they move into aged care. Me and My Pet Aged Care is a brand new initiave that, immediately upon launching attracted a surprising amount of positive attention, demonstrating that pets in aged care is a topic that is very close to the hearts of many Australians. Me and My Pet Aged Care is a web page that asks 3 short questions about how important it is for a person to have an aged care home consider allowing a resident to have their pet live with them, and whether this would be an important factor in that home being chosen for themselves or their loved one. It also asks the younger audience to think about this topic and what it might mean to them down the track even though it might not be something relevant to them right now. The aim is to get an understanding of how important this issue is within the community, and these results will be shared with aged care homes and other relevant decision-makers. If you see this as being an important issue please visit the website and share your views. Together we can make change happen!

Share what matters to you by answering 3 short questions at the Me and My Pet Aged Care Website: meandmypetagedcare.com.au
