At Just Better Care, we understand that ageing isn't a one-size-fits-all journey. Every person’s experience is shaped by their history, lifestyle, and outlook on life.
That’s why we focus on personalised in-home support that matches wherever you are in your life stage—whether you're seeking greater independence, recovering from a setback, or simply looking for extra help around the home.
Rather than viewing ageing solely through the lens of decline, many older Australians see it as a time of purpose, reflection, and continued growth. Among them is Australia’s oldest working artist, Guy Warren, who at over 100 years old continues to live independently, maintain his driver's licence, and pursue a vibrant career with multiple exhibitions each year. His secret? A positive mindset and a belief that there’s always something to look forward to.
Why Mindset and Support Matter as We Age
As we age, we inevitably face change—whether it’s physical, emotional, or social. But research shows that how we adapt to these changes can make all the difference. According to the Flinders Centre for Ageing Studies, seniors who maintain a sense of purpose and optimism are better equipped to navigate life’s challenges, regardless of the adversity they’ve experienced.
In fact, resilience—the ability to bounce back from difficulty—can be developed at any age. A Geriatric Nursing study identified three key areas that help older adults age well:
Mental Resilience
Positive mindset and adaptive coping strategies
Gratitude, happiness, and emotional wellbeing
A belief in one’s ability to overcome obstacles
Social Resilience
Staying connected with family, friends, and community
Engaging in meaningful relationships and activities
Contributing through volunteering or mentoring
Physical Resilience
Maintaining independence and mobility
Staying active and eating well
Believing in the possibility of successful ageing
