Nursing Homes are not for Baby Boomers

2008-08-31T16:37:00.003+08:00

A recent Galaxy Poll discovered that the majority of Australians over 50 do not want to move into a nursing home. This poses new issues for governments and community services to come up with acceptable alternative solutions. The poll found that independance was seen as being very important to those over 50 and they wanted to remain living in their own homes for as long as possible.

"The preference for the government to continue to meet the costs of care, support and accommodation of elderly Australians was observed across all demographic groups.

Other key findings of the polling included:
City residents are the most negatively disposed to nursing homes, while those in regional and rural areas are the most positive;
Up to 61 per cent of people over 50 believe that they only need to think seriously about aged care accommodation when the family home ceases to become an option;
Those aged 50-59 years are the most negatively disposed to nursing homes, and those over 70 years the most positive.;
People who have worked in a nursing home are the most negatively disposed to them;
82 per cent of over 50s would prefer a new style of accommodation and care for older people. "
