Individual Resident Services ASSISTING YOUR RESIDENTS WITH ALL THEIR DIETETIC NEEDS
Providing individual services to residents is a specialty of our practitioners. Over many years, we have assisted hundreds of aged and transitional care residents with needs relating to malnutrition, Diabetes - Type 1 & Type 2, healthy eating, osteoporosis and many more.
Recommendations are delivered using best-practice guidelines and all consultations come with comprehensive written reports which are delivered to the facility, and the resident’s GP, within two business days. Where appropriate, liaison is provided with the residents family, Clinical Nurse Consultant or support workers.
Individual services also extend to dietary prescription of oral nutrition supplements combined with relevant meal plans.
Aged Care Staff Training and Development
In-service training for nursing and catering staff are an excellent way to ensure team members are up-to-date with the latest information on dietetics for aged care. Education can be provided individually for new staff members however facilities benefit greatly from a group consultation format where our dietitians can attend the facility and discuss one, or a number of conditions. Group ‘in-services’ are delivered in a professional, fun and interactive way, ensuring that each staff member gets the most from their training. To aid in the educational process, numerous resources are provided for ongoing reference. Some of the in-service topics frequently covered include -
Hydration and skin integrity
Malnutrition
Diverticular disease
Diabetes
Wound healing
Constipation and diarrhoea
Many other topics can also be covered and adjusted accordingly to suit your needs and requirements.
Food Service Menu Reviews and Assessments COMPREHENSIVE MENU REVIEW AND REPORTS
Our Dietitians can provide menu reviews and assessments which include a comprehensive written report with recommendations on how to improve the menu to meet best-practice guidelines and the 2.10 Nutrition & Hydration Accreditation Standards. During the consultation process we work closely with the appropriate catering staff and Director of Nursing to ensure that these suggestions are provided in conjunction with the needs of the residents and your facility’s needs, resources and budget.
