Staff Education Sessions

We provide practical on-site education sessions, designed to ensure clinical and catering staff are upskilled in the provision of quality nutrition care. Topics include; general nutrition and hydration in aged care, weighing residents, texture modified diets and IDDSI, diabetes management, mealtime assistance, dining experience and many more.

Accreditation Support

Eat Well Nutrition provides residential aged care homes with full support in achieving compliance with the Aged Care Quality Standards including conducting audits, such as consumer weight audits, food and catering audits, and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.

Catering + Food Service

Our aged care dietitians can work with your catering team to help enhance the meal and dining experience for your consumers. This includes education for staff, meal presentation, meeting meal size and nutrient recommendations, menu planning, special diets and allergies. These are just some of the areas we can collaborate with your catering team.

Nutrition Policy + Procedure

Eat Well Nutrition can provide residential aged care facilities with policy and procedure assistance to ensure that nutrition, hydration and catering processes reflect evidence based and best practice care whilst supporting the Aged Care Quality Standards.

Oral Supplement Audits

Oral nutritional supplements are often a significant cost to an aged care facility and are disliked by consumers. We can assist by undertaking an oral supplement audit which can save your facility a substantial amount of money. Our audits also focus on strategies to enhance the real food experience for your consumers so they can enjoy wholesome and tasty meals instead of the burden of oral supplements.

Telehealth + Remote Assessments

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation, we have diversified our care options to support our aged care homes. Remote assessment enables your facility to receive support without contractors being onsite. Remote visits are completed with the same high degree of care and consideration as our on-site visits. On-site remains our preferred method of visit however we know, at the moment, its not always possible.
