Prevent-Hospital-Admissions-This-Winter-with-Just-Better-Care-Private-Home-Care

As winter settles in, so too does a sharp rise in preventable hospital admissions, particularly among older Australians and those living with chronic conditions.

Cold weather can worsen respiratory illnesses, increase the risk of falls, and make day-to-day living more challenging. But hospitalisation isn’t always the only—or best—option.

Just Better Care Private provides timely, personalised in-home support to help customers stay safe, independent, and comfortable in their own homes—while reducing the likelihood of unnecessary hospital visits.

Why Hospital Admissions Spike During Winter

Winter presents a number of health risks:

Increased cases of flu, respiratory infections, and pneumonia
Higher risk of slips and falls due to wet and slippery surfaces
Reduced mobility and slower recovery from illness or injury
Greater social isolation affecting emotional and physical well-being

For older adults and people living with disability, even a minor incident can lead to a hospital visit—especially when early signs go unmonitored or support isn't in place.
