Key Initiatives | Good Lives for Older People

Home » Key Initiatives

ACH Group projects are made possible through the partnerships we have forged over the years with key industry organisations and government, to help us fulfil our vision to support good lives.

Partnerships include:

Health Organisations

We continue to build our partnership with SA Health and Flinders University, which commenced with the launch of the state of the art ViTA concept in 2014.

Housing Organisations

We are partnering with Housing Choices Australia to meet the demand for affordable properties as the NRAS (National Rental Affordability Scheme) is phased out.

Students

We continue to support the future aged care workforce by providing more than 400 students with work experience placements per year.

Aged Care Providers

We participate in the SA Innovation Hub, a community practice of 10 progressive aged care organisations, sharing current best practice and inventing new approaches.

Caring for someone who is living with dementia can be mentally and physically exhausting. Caregivers can sometimes feel that they are invisible as they are also coping with their own adjustments to the changes in their family member and their relationship with them.

The theme of this year’s Dementia Action Week is ‘a little support makes a lot of difference’. That’s why it is important to give yourself permission to take a break if you feel that you are starting to “run on empty.” If you are a carer or close to someone who is living with dementia, this article is a must-read.

Continuing our focus on living well with dementia as part of Dementia Action Week (21 – 27 September), ACH Group has introduced new technology at its Kapara and Perry Park residential care homes to keep residents living with dementia positively engaged with others and mentally simulated.

The Tovertafel or Magic Table activates and uses parts of the brain that aren’t affected by the disease process. Featuring a light projector that beams colour images and interactive games onto a table-top, people can move the images with their hands in an intuitive way, encouraging engagement and social interaction with others.
