CGH has been recognised at the highest level of the international Age-Friendly Health Systems movement for building care around older patients' goals, cutting high-risk medicines, screening for delirium every shift and getting patients out of bed sooner. Families are counselled to spot sudden confusion early, and their knowledge of a parent's usual routines is used to tailor care, especially for patients with dementia.
