Aged Care Nutrition Services

The Nutrition Specialists consults to a number of Aged Care Facilities in Perth. We are able to provide specific care for an individual resident or a range of services depending on the needs of the facility. We are committed to providing expert dietetic services in a professional and efficient manner.

Individual Resident Review

One of our Accredited Practising Dietitians will visit your facility to:

• Review client nutrition issues and requirements
• Develop nutrition care plans
• Liaise with medical, nursing and food services staff to ensure optimal care
• Review PEG feeds
• Provide written dietary guidelines

Menu & Food Service Review

Aged care menus must be reviewed regularly to ensure that they meet aged care accreditation Standards.

A review of the menu is far more than simply looking at the menu structure itself. The menu on paper does not always reflect what is actually served to residents and does not necessarily ensure that residents receive an adequate diet.

• The Nutrition Specialists provides a comprehensive menu and food service review that includes:
• Nutrition and special diet policy and procedures
• Processes to identify malnutrition and provide nutrition support
• Quantitative assessment of nutrition provided to residents
• Documentation audit
• Comprehensive report with recommendations to meet accreditation guidelines
