Managing Older People's Financial Assets in Aged Care Facilities: The Intersection of Legal and Care Requirements and Financial Management Practices

该项目将提供重要的新知识，并提出改变政策、实践和立法的建议，以促进老年人在如何管理其财务事务方面的独立性和选择。老年护理机构居民的身体和认知脆弱性正在增加，他们管理资产和收入的能力往往有限。这项研究将解决财务上的老年人虐待问题以及如何代表老年人做出决策的问题。改进管理护理人员和家庭成员的风险、权利和责任的立法、政策和实践框架，将有助于他们适当地支持和保护住院护理中的老年人。

This project will provide important new knowledge and propose changes to policy, practice and legislation that will promote older people's independence and choice in how their financial affairs are managed. The physical and cognitive frailty of aged care facility residents is increasing and their capacity to manage their assets and income is often limited. This study will address financial elder abuse and problems with how decisions are made on behalf of older people. Improving the legislative, policy and practice frameworks that govern the risks, rights and responsibilities of care staff and family members will assist them to appropriately support and protect older people in residential care.
