Founder story
At Age Up Health, we do things unlike any other provider, because our story also began with personal experience seeking aged care.
Age Up Founder Grace Petherick became involved with the aged care industry when her grandparents needed help around the house. They registered with a large aged care provider and were sadly, treated appallingly.
Grace discovered, their story was not an uncommon one in aged care.
Her grandparents were forced to make large out-of-pocket purchases for essential home alterations and then had to wait months before they were reimbursed. No one returned their calls or checked in on them, and they were often refused requests for basics.
Having worked for years in VIP & corporate services, Grace realised that what her grandparents had gone through was unacceptable, and it made her determined to change that.
Since those early days, we've grown a lot but our focus on people remains, by putting people at the heart of our business. None of our loved ones should ever have their life so impacted by poor service.
We look forward to helping you or your family member to live happy, healthy and free, long into the future!
