Nutrition plays a key role for all age groups, and at Nourished we know the impact that beneficial dietary changes can have for our clients, not only in physical health, but also mental health and creating a positive impact quality of life (QOL). For our aged care residents, we provide dietary analysis in alignment with improving QOL, assisting with apathy towards food, requirements for supplementation and malnutrition risks.
We take into account current dietary requirements, QOL, risk factors, medication provision, medical history, social history, individual characteristics and health goals in order to facilitate appropriate dietary plans for our aged care patients. Appropriate malnutrition screening tools such as using a Subjective Global Assessment and Mini Nutritional Assessment are utilised to screen our clients for risk factors in our aged care homes.
If your aged care facility requires a Dietitian, or a loved one needs assistance in any of these areas please contact the Practice today to discuss how a Nourished Dietitian can help you.
