Maggie Beer’s Big Mission on ABC and ABC iview S1E3 – Maggie and her team are halfway through the experiment and there is still so much to do.
The pressure is on, and the cracks are showing as they prepare for the Minister for Aged Care’s visit.
The staff put their new knowledge and skills into action and residents are encouraged to get involved with the outdoor transformation.
Renovations are complete and the home’s environment has a new lease on life. The once derelict courtyard is now buzzing with life. The dining rooms are light and bright and the tables are set and the buffet opens!
Giving residents purpose and meaning is key to aiding the transition. The introduction of daily job roles sees residents helping set the dining rooms.
The kitchen however, is still in crisis as they make the move to using fresh produce and cooking from scratch. It’s clear the staff do not have the skills to manage the changes and Maggie must continue teaching the basics – she’s back in the kitchen to give more baking lessons.
Maggie wants to work on communication between the kitchen and dining room, but Sas seems unconvinced by her suggestions. Will the kitchen make the changes they need in time for the Minister’s visit and importantly, in time to effect change quickly and improve nutrition for the residents?
Maggie returns after 2 months to find the residents flourishing, the staff happy along with progress
In the kitchen. While the experiment seems to be a success, the research will tell if it’s all been worthwhile. Associate Prrofessor Jade Cartwright from UTAS returns with the results.

Sorry but what a load of bs! Aged care is about making money! Put on a show to impress Maggie and the minister? Wtf worked in aged care for 14 years and had to leave the toxicity and lies. Please stop with the lies! Love Maggie but she is living in denial and has no idea what actually happens behind the scenes? #making a fool of Maggie Beer
