We are improving the health and quality of life for aged care residents through the:
- the Maggie Beer Foundation’s free training
- new Aged Care Quality Standard 6: Food and nutrition, to be introduced with the new Aged Care Act.
Read the stories from residents, chefs and managers to understand how aged care homes are better:
- listening to residents’ feedback and changing menus based on residents’ preferences
- offering more food and drink choices
- fortifying meals to boost nutrition
- serving visually appetising meals, including for texture modified foods
- improving the dining experience to encourage social connection.
Chefs and managers share how the training helped them to:
- improve kitchen productivity
- work with other teams
- develop staff
- foster innovation
- increase job satisfaction.
