We aim to empower Queensland and Northern Territory residential aged care facilities and respite services with skills, knowledge and confidence to promote and support optimal nutrition for their residents.
As Queensland’s most experienced community nutrition organisation, we are a trusted source of nutrition information, staffed by a team of skilled, compassionate professionals. We identify client needs, develop creative and innovative solutions and deliver sustainable outcomes.
All assessments are completed and reviewed by Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) experienced in aged care.
We support aged care facilities in managing malnutrition and other nutrition related issues.
We can visit your facility to conduct workshops and in-services specifically tailored to meet your needs.
Delicious and nourishing meal and snack ideas for your menu with nutrition information and tips.
Concise and accurate nutrition and food safety information for nursing, food service and care staff.
Nutritional supplements and thickeners for when additional nutrition support is required.
The four themes we will look at over the year include:
July – September 2022 – FOOD SAFETY
October – December 2022 – MENU DEVELOPMENT
January – March 2023 – FOOD, CULTURE AND MEALTIMES
April – June 2023 – NUTRITION QUALITY IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES
