xpenses in the aged care sector are a critical focus for organizations aiming to balance cost savings with high-quality care. Smaller and regional aged Aged care homes encounter unique challenges in cost management and government funding. Leveraging procurement specialists like S.T.A.R Procurement is key to swiftly identifying savings on various expenditure items. S.T.A.R Procurement offers tailored solutions, delivering tangible savings of up to 30% off baseline costs for organizations such as Healthia Limited, Tristar Medical, and Capitol Health. By cascading these savings to associated entities, procurement not only cuts costs but also aids in achieving strategic goals, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring compliance. Over the last 6 months, S.T.A.R Procurement has achieved significant savings in categories like stationery (25%), printing (30%), utilities (25%), and medical consumables (15%). Implementing procurement improvements is a straightforward process yielding substantial benefits without extensive consulting hours.

It's no secret gardening can play a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life for residents. One innovative solution that’s gaining a lot of traction in residential care and retirement living is the use of wicking planter boxes. These self-watering garden systems not only support residents' connection to nature but also foster a sense of purpose, all while being eco-friendly and efficient. The inclusion of the WaterUps Wicking system, means the planters are watered from the bottom up. Wicking garden beds eliminate the problem of deciding when and how much to water.   Plants in a wicking bed can last up to 4 weeks or longer without additional watering.  https://wix.to/ZmnUF1v #planterboxes #accesstheoutdoors #gardening #dementiafriendly #communities #communitygarden #waterups #wicking #agedcaregarden

UTILISE TECHNOLOGY & DATA MANAGEMENT TOOLS TO SUPPORT BETTER CARE The use of innovative sensor technology and data collection and analysis may support the focus on those who need care the greatest. I think care minutes are extremely important when used for those in high need not all people who currently reside in Aged care would need this attention. Quality of care is key … leveraging technology to support the RN and care staff shortages may assist to utilise existing resources to support high level of care all Aged care providers strive to achieve. Interested in everyone’s thoughts on this subject.
