Claims home care workers not getting enough training/support

From Nine To Noon, 9:10 am on 3 August 2015

Are home care workers in retirement villages being asked to do too much, without adequate training or support? Some workers say although they're meant to be looking after the "independent living" elderly, they're ill-prepared and trained for what they have to deal with. Nine to Noon speaks to a Home Care assistant worker; and Annie Newman, of the Services and Food Workers union, which represents workers in this sector; and John Collyns from the Retirement Village Association.
