Oral Health in Residential Aged Care Homes

In 2014 I created a tookit for public dental services to share with staff at residential aged care homes (then known as facilities) to assist them in providing daily oral health care to the residents. A new toolkit is currently in development, to align with strengthened standards.

Detailed background

ACQSC Strengthened Standards from 1 July 2025

The ACQSC resource for the standard can be accessed at:

https://www.agedcarequality.gov.au/strengthened-quality-standards/clinical-care/clinical-safety#what-is-the-outcome-that-needs-to-be-achieved


Commencing 1 July 2025:


  • Standard 5: Clinical Care
  • Outcome 5.5: Clinical safety 
  • Action 5.5.7: Oral Health 


The provider implements processes to maintain oral health and prevent decline by:

  1. facilitating access to a dentist or other oral health practitioner for oral health assessments at the commencement of care, regularly and when required; 
  2. monitoring and responding to deterioration in oral health; 
  3. assisting with daily oral hygiene needs.

As a sign of my personal attachment to this initiative, I have continued to use the photo of my late mother, taken when visiting her at a care home in England in 2010.


The RACH Readiness Tool is available now. The document is completed by the RACH Clinical Manager or RN and enables the Home Manager to assess the current processes, to ensure the RACH delivers the resident care  and meets the requirements of Strengthened Quality Standard 5.5.7.


The tool Is available in Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF formats.
