Why now and why this research project? "Timely, Truthful, and Telling: The Case for This Research"

For the past 18 months, I’ve had the unique opportunity to support a manager in a small, aged care village. What I witnessed there, particularly the troubling behaviour of a few core residents, compounded by the complicity of the Statutory Supervisor—was nothing short of astonishing. As a qualitative researcher, I couldn’t help but wonder: Is this an isolated incident, or part of a broader pattern?

Findings

"Nothing But the Truth: Where Candid Meets Controversial" In this section, I discuss the highlights from the conversations had with individuals working in the sector.

What's next?

Where to from here? How do we look after our staff better so it's not just a token tick box exercise?
