“The dining experience is not a one-off event – it’s the very essence of how you create ongoing memories of fine food, fellowship, good health and happiness”
-Jo Cleary-
Dining is not just eating – it’s an experience and one that can bring comfort, social interaction and engagement for residents in an Aged Care Facility. For many, other activities are no long possible and it is the one area where homes can really engage with their residents for a win/win outcome for everyone.
Dining in aged care in no simple matter. Meeting nutritional requirements, providing choice and creating an enjoyable experience can be challenging.
Getting it wrong results in residents losing weight and becoming ill, complaints and wasted money in food and process wastage.
