- Finding the Why was filmed at Uniting Starrett Lodge, NSW, Australia. The film presents a fresh perspective on aged care looking specifically at Starrett Lodge's unique approach to enabling active participation in life in aged care. It captures the essence of giving real meaning and purpose to life for those living with dementia.
The film will form part of a project 'Side by Side: Love and Joy in Long Term Dementia Care' by sociologist and photographer Professor Cathy Greenblat. For more information visit www.LoveLossAndLaughter.com
The documentary film was produced and directed by Corinne Maunder of Fire Films www.firefilms.com.au and features the residents and staff of Uniting Starrett Lodge.
As an aged care RN Lovely this is what aged care is
Keep up the good work dont stop

Just love this film with its emphasis on putting relationships before tasks; seeing that all people have a right to choice and agency in their lives whether or not they are living with dementia; the residents having important roles which are valued in the community( loved the two sales managers of the bucket list!) and the intergenerational and interspecies relational elements. Wow ! wow! wow!
I love the passion, the integrity of the staff at Starrett Lodge. It's my dream to work in such a place, and to have the same level of care and support in every aged care facility. As someone who works in a dementia closed secure unit, it breaks my heart to see, and be a part of a task oriented ward. As much as I try to create a person centered environment, there is only so much I can do without the support of my co workers and management.
Knowledge about persons life history can open many ways to stimulating activities.
Im currently working as a Trainer and Assesor for Certificate III in Individual Support which is the entrant level qualification needed to work in aged care. Thank you so much for this video. I often used it as part of my learning plan. I want my student to see what's possible. Im hoping to inspire future carers to see thing through your eyes.
I'm working as a caretaker looking after 91 years old, and at the moment I'm doing the age care course online and I'm looking forward to work in this industry, I'm very impressed watching the videos.
This is the place I always love to work and serve the aging society and community...
YAY! Someone gets it! I knew all of this intuitively as soon as I saw my Mom decline when she was placed in a so-called "care facility." I wish all "traditional" care facilities could get past believing their model and system is right and really get focused on the people who are living with dementia. Congratulations on your excellent approach to care! We all need to follow your innovative, loving and sensible model. Thank you so much!
This is fantastic
this is wonderful and heart-warming. I am so impressed with how you do person-centred care. Not just lip-service, but real heart-centred care.
Thanks Wanasai. I love your phrase "heart-centred care"… It's the first time I'm hearing it. Person-centred care was a very important idea when Tom Kitwood first wrote about it, but it has now become the "description" all sorts of places use for the same old stuff they've done. Colin and his team put true meaning on it, as we believe the video shows so well.
Yeah well it was your video that made me say it :) How could we do any less and stay true to our own being? YOu people are love in action.
Awesome! As someone living with dementia symptoms myself, Thank you Colin and crew, for your APPLICATION of "heart-centered care", (& I agree with other commenter; it is a wonderful term)
Perfect!! It bought an actual tear to my eye. I would travel to the other side of the world to work for this man.
I think I cried most of the way through this...it's beautiful
Watching this makes my heart melt. Dad has had to go into care - he is only young , 70 yrs of age. He is totally fine mind wise but he has no mobility suffering from a disease similar to MS .
finally someone who says this can be done, and not just find excuses - I hope this care facility still exists and has never changed
This is inspirational video in many ways - it captures the why - why I want people to see that we can make a great difference to the lives of our seniors - I encourage people who want to make a difference to consider working on Aged Care
This is such important information...and there aren't many research resources or results that are easily available to find as helpful as these ideas you have shared in this film. What a wonderful facility that you have there. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video...🥰👏🏼♥️🙏🏻
I'm studying Aged Care at the moment. I just hope when I'm qualified I'm lucky enough to work in a Facility like this. Just beautiful.
Hi, I saw the film from Italy, very inspiring, I would like to translate the undertitles from English into Italian, for learning something for us in Europe from these best practises from Australia. I was impressed from the capacity and motivation of the staff!
This is the amazing support and heartly encuouranging, Thank you all for evrythings for their daily living support.
That's great! to see everyone smile and have purpose in life. Great staff, great place great outcome. God bless all of you. That's inspired me too to make all of them happy.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL DOCO. WELL DONE.
This has been amazing, a blessing, God bless their work, their residents...so good to hear and see the results.
Congrats on this moving and powerful film.
mom & others seniors a must watch
What a way to go, well done all of you for your work and this video!
This is a wonderful approach but as a nurse working in aged care I despair that there is little or no time to implement and enable the participation so needed for all residents.
You did such a wonderful job! We must have this in Singapore!
Fantastic work.
Amazing work!
Wow, great work.
Just so rich and real.
So very wonderful!!!
On tap, not on top.....such a great way of sharing energy.
It looks like a great place to work... I mean have fun! Everyone looks happy.
TO REFLECT ON AND ALWAYS REMEMBER - OUR AGED
“DON’T LET YOUR INDIFFERENCE BE THE DIFFERENCE THAT PREVENTS YOU FROM MAKING THAT DIFFERENCE ” THANK YOU UNITING
How many people really wonder, and really care ?
About the young folks who grow old and are losing their hair ?
How many members of family forget to visit their old parents ?
That have been placed out into old peoples homes, hospitals and aged care ?
How many old people suffer with the pain, the anguish and the despair ?
When they are continually waiting for their loved ones , never visits on a hope and a never ending prayer.!
When are we going to really reflect, on our community values of love, understanding, trust and respect ?
When we haven’t realised that we may be also the future victims and role model examples of our forgotten neglect ? !!
Why are so many of us wondering why others haven’t acted before, and helped our loved ones with understanding , love, empathy and mutual undeniable respect ? !!!
Luckily, there are community groups & organisations, helping and realigning the lives of the aged and delicate to reconnect.
Security, equality, support, and the love of respect , is being provided to helping insulate those from some of our obvious community forgotten neglects !
There are so many carers that have taken the heed, and are gladly helping so many of those in aged care and in desperate need.
Our aged loved ones need to be remembered and provided that undeniable care, the patient understanding, and support so desperately required and not provided out there.
Our loved ones will sit there, remember and smile, when they are touched with our humanity and genuine shared care and pride.
Most reconnect to some of their moments and memories in time, when they are able to feel and remember kindness, laughter, and the company of loved ones and all those good times.
The foundation values of dedication , empathy, trust, respect , excellence, growth, and commitment to the aged community -
are just some of the token values that provide our aged with a safe sense of calm and security.
So are we all going to consider and remember, that we all should reflect and act now-

..............................................................THANK YOU UNITING FOR MAKING THAT DIFFERENCE THOUGH THIS DOCUMENTARY
Alright Alright ALRIGHT!
Wow to the guy parachuting, he has more guts than me,
💖
God said let there be light from the first day of creation. That light means to me the light of Jesus. Been there from inception. I so look forward to being in that presence of God the father, son and Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit brings me to that light as the spirit abides in me.

The problem is with these age car is ther are to meney workers how get to grops in groups like philpno and indens and speak in their legwig just like springwood home
Nice content! but WHY WHY WHY Do you have to DROWN out the speakers with MUSIC??? Its not just you, it seems to be those making videos on Caring! Nearly EVERY video we are studying for Individual care and Every single time we have to choose Subs so we can HEAR whats being said as not everyone has the same HEARING RANGE!!!!! The spoken words are virtually USELESS!!!
