Cuppa Q&A's
Moving a loved one into residential aged care is an emotional rollercoaster. While there’s no handbook with all the answers, sometimes hearing from others who have been through it can help.
Cuppa Q&A's is hosted by Opal HealthCare, one of Australia's leading residential aged care providers. In this series of short videos, we meet families of our residents who share their different experiences, and the emotions they went through, moving their loved ones into care.
Everyone’s experience is different, but the concerns and fears are often alike. We hope by sharing these conversations, you find some comfort and clarity as you explore residential aged care.
