One couple's journey of accessing in-home aged care services

This Case Study outlines the experiences of Garry and Les, a couple navigating and accessing in-home aged care services. Their story and experiences provide an important reminder that all consumers have the right to receive respectful and dignified aged care services, that meet their individual needs and diverse life experiences, which are safe, welcoming and inclusive.
