Study reveals aged care residents are fed worse than prisoners
A study reveals some aged care facilities spend $6.08 a day on food for their elderly residents.
That’s about $2 a meal for some of our most vulnerable Australians.
$8.35 is spent on food for prisoners in jail.
After revealing the shocking findings, Chris Smith received a flood of calls.
John, who is a garbageman, says he sees what residents are fed every day.
“My relatives used to run a pig farm…I wouldn’t give it to them.
“I see what they would’ve had for lunch today. No wonder they’re sick.”
Joan works in the prison system and shares her perspective.
“I can tell you…inmates get better care than you and I would in an aged care facility on the outside.”
