Australia population is ageing. Residential aged care will need to meet expanding demands for services and respond to more discerning residents with higher service expectations. Helping Hand Aged Care Inc, Delfin Lend Lease and Spotless Services Limited are collaborating to improve the capacity of the physical environment to be progressively adapted to changing resident care needs and support the efficient and effective provision of quality care by all service providers, including outsourced services.
