as well as providing secure dementia facilities. The homes range in size from 29 to 224 beds with an ongoing program for refurbishments and reviews across all locations to maintain the standards of both the physical environment of the home as well as the staff’s ability to provide engaging activity programs for the residents. Allity is expanding their resident memoir program, where year 10 students meet weekly with residents to hear and to write their life stories. The ten-week program has been so successful amongst students and residents of Walkerville that it will be extended to all Allity homes. Allity is participating in the roll out of a pain facial recognition app, which helps to staff to identify and manage the pain experienced by people living with dementia, who may be unable to verbalize their discomfort. Allity is partnering with the developers of a clinical pharmacy service that uses a multidisciplinary health care team, patient consultations and DNA testing to create individualized medication plans for residents. Allity is a significant residential aged care provider in Australia.
