Webinar for residential care providers

📆 Wednesday 16 September 2026
⏰ 12:00 – 12:45pm AEST
💻 Free online event

What makes residents and families choose HELF?

This HELF webinar explores what influences uptake among residents and families. Charmaine Keegan and Bonnie Nicholas will share perspectives on resident value, team confidence and the conversations that can support commercially sustainable outcomes in residential care.

What influences HELF uptake?

HELF creates an opportunity for residential care providers to offer services residents value while strengthening the organisation’s financial sustainability. For many providers, however, turning that opportunity into a sustainable part of the residential care model raises a more fundamental question: what really influences whether residents and families choose to engage?

HELF uptake is not shaped by the fee alone. It can also be influenced by how the value is understood, the questions teams ask, the language they use and the level of trust and confidence in the conversation.

Join Charmaine Keegan, Director of Smarter Selling and Bonnie Nicholas from AlayaCare for a virtual fireside chat exploring what really influences HELF uptake and how providers can support resident-valued, commercially sustainable outcomes.

Together, they’ll explore why the answer may be deeper than providers first realise, how to uncover what residents and families genuinely value, and how stronger conversations can support both resident experience and commercial sustainability.

Led by AlayaCare experts, you'll learn:
  • Understanding what shapes residents’ and families’ decisions around HELF.
