She wrote an article titled "The Almoner Department in the Royal Newcastle Hospital" in the Australian Journal of Social Work in the year 1950 that detailed the work of an almoner in all areas of medicine, as well as in the community. Parbery worked with geriatrician Richard Gibson in the Hunter Region during the 1950s, specialising in the care of people with multiple sclerosis and the aged with a disability. They produced a report on domiciliary, nursing, and medical care, which was supported by the Christian McCaffrey (RNH) medical superintendent and the hospital board. A model developed by Parbery and Gibson saw aged patients receive care and rehabilitation in their own homes, known as the domiciliary care service and retraining unit. Parbery's social work was crucial in establishing this innovative geriatric service (also known as the ‘Newcastle Experience’), an approach to domiciliary care that influenced practices in Australia and around the world.

Users must, therefore, account for the money every step of the way so the local government can maintain its auditing requirements. There is however, no requirement for a person to receive the entirety of their care needs through direct payments, people are free to mix direct payments for some of their needs with traditional methods of care provision. Direct Payments can be used to directly employ a personal assistant (in this case the Direct Payments recipient may legally be classed as an employer with all the responsibilities this entails under UK law) or hire care workers from a private domiciliary care agency. As an alternative to care services, the recipient may be able to use his or her Direct Payments to fund other local services that enable their independence within their own home and community, such as 'meals on wheels', taxi cabs and social clubs.

June 2011 saw Centenary Celebrations to celebrate 100 years of the RNID and a new change of name—Action on Hearing Loss. "Action on Hearing Loss" was chosen because it better describes the breadth of help and support they provide for people with all types of hearing loss—from people who are profoundly deaf, to people who are losing their hearing. They trade under the new name 'Action on Hearing Loss', but like a lot of other charities who have changed their names, they will be keeping the legal name, Royal National Institute for Deaf People. AHL announced in 2020 that it was selling its 23 care homes and its supported living, community and domiciliary care services which it had been providing since 1929. The charity’s 560 clients were told their homes and services were to be sold and the 600 staff would be transferred to a new owner. This was despite the organisation’s chief executive saying in 2018 he had no plans to carry out the same kind of mass sale of services that he oversaw in his previous position as chief executive of the disability charity Scope.
