A conversation about how aged care can better respond to the diverse needs, experiences and strengths of older people living with disability.
Disability can be an important part of diversity in ageing. Whether life-long or acquired later, visible or hidden, diagnosed or un-diagnosed, disability can influence how people experience connection, independence, services and support throughout later life.
In this presentation and lived experience panel discussion, we will explore the role of disability in the ageing experience. Drawing on intersectional perspectives and an understanding of ableism and ageism, the discussion will examine how disability can interact with other aspects of identity and why acknowledging these experiences is critical to fostering inclusion, dignity and belonging in aged care.
CHSP Providers are invited to join us for a conversation about how aged care can better respond to the diverse needs, experiences and strengths of older people living with disability.
