Booklet: This booklet contains useful advice on grief and loss for families when someone dies in aged care

Provider: North-Western Melbourne PHN

About this service

For families, having a loved one move into residential aged care can cause sadness and worry.

Most residents will continue to live in the facility for the rest of their lives. Experience shows that bereavement, grief, and loss can affect families and residents across the aged care journey, not just at the end of it.

Dealing with the emotions and realities of having someone living their final chapter in an aged care facility is a complex process, for everyone involved – but help and support are available.

This RACH grief booklet contains useful advice on grief and loss for families when someone dies in aged care.
