Description:
AbstractThe Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety emphasised the critical need for a human rights‐based approach to protect the rights of older people in the Australian aged care context, including ‘the right to social participation’. This topic is important because of the widespread social isolation and loneliness in Australian residential aged care. This article demonstrates how a human rights‐based framework can provide guidance to governments in approaching issues involving the protection of older people's need for social connection in aged care. In doing so, the article considers examples of how the Australian government can ensure choice of living arrangement, individualised support and access to community services and facilities in the residential aged care context to better protect the right to social participation.
