Celebration of a Century - RSL Lifecare - the First 100 Years (Hardcover)

This is the story of how an organisation founded by a small committee in 1911 to care for ageing veterans in dire financial circumstances developed into RSL LifeCare, with responsibility for 4,500 residents and backed by an array of health and ageing strategies and services. More than just an organisational history, this book traces how government policies have developed for returned service men and women, particularly as they age; discusses broader developments in aged care; and includes the stories of the dedicated people who have cared for the residents. While RSL LifeCare has much to celebrate, this book also considers how far this important organisation's development will be sustained in the future.
