What is Aged Care Nutrition?

Aged Care Nutrition focuses on meeting the unique dietary needs of older adults to support energy, health, and quality of life. For individuals with dementia, additional challenges like appetite loss, food aversions, or difficulty swallowing may arise. Proper nutrition tailored to individual needs can improve strength, cognitive function, and overall well-being. With expert care, older adults can thrive in their golden years.

Are You Worried About Nutrition for a Loved One in Aged Care?

Caring for an older adult, especially one with dementia, can feel overwhelming when nutrition becomes a challenge. You may be concerned about weight loss, nutrient deficiencies, or managing mealtime behaviours. With professional support, you can address these concerns and ensure your loved one receives the nutrition they need.

Tailored Nutrition Can Transform Quality of Life

Personalised aged care nutrition offers significant benefits:

  • Improved Health: Support physical strength, cognitive function, and immune health.
  • Enhanced Appetite and Enjoyment: Address challenges like food aversions or texture preferences.
