It can be challenging for new residents to move into an aged care home with all the change it brings.

Which is why Eldercare’s transition support volunteers are crucial in helping new residents feel at home from day one.

Watch Transition Support Volunteer Caitlin as she explains how building relationships built on trust and respect allows new residents to make the shift discuss the things that are important to them, and safely express any concerns in the first weeks in care.
