Exploring options for ageing with dignity and independence
Don’t want to spend your later years in a nursing home?
This site aims to provide you with information and resources that can help you make informed decisions about planning for your future. I want to assist you in finding the best options for you and your family, so you can age with dignity and independence.
Here's to the Grand Years, the ones where you get to enjoy the life you've built, the family you've raised, and the friendships you've nurtured.
Hello there,
I'm Gillian, and I have a passion for researching, reading the fine print, and understanding the why and how behind things. For nearly 15 years, I've used these skills in the aged care sector, working in strategy, business development, innovative change projects, and engaging in government policy development. Unfortunately, I've been left disappointed with the residential aged care sector and the lack of meaningful progress.
With one in six Australians aged 65 or over, there is a significant gap in services and products for this population group that aligns with their needs and wants to age well.
In response to this issue, I have created The Grand Years. It is a platform where I can utilize my research skills to provide valuable information to a wider audience seeking to plan and take action to maintain their quality of life in their later years.
Thank you for taking the time to read about The Grand Years.
Gillian Chadwick
