Improving quality of care with a dietitian consultation

Improve your resident’s quality of life with dietitian consultations to help prevent some of these common issues:

Expert nutritional assessments with an APD dietitian consultation

Our Australian Practising Dietitians (APD) offer comprehensive Nutritional Assessments including factors such as:

biometric data collection and monitoring

This includes current and historical weight, height and BMI measurements so changes can be monitored over time and management plans implemented where necessary.

disease and disability identification

Our dietitian consultation identifies diseases and disabilities affecting your resident’s nutrition and hydration like diabetes, dementia, intolerances, allergies and other medical conditions.

malnourishment assessments and screens

This is a real issue in aged care and disability facilities, impacting on illness, wound recovery times and overall wellbeing. Up to 70% of aged care residents suffer from this issue.

faster wound healing with the right dietary advice

Since food needs increase during recovery or healing events, our dietitian consultations give specific nutrition advice for wound and pressure injuries, enabling faster recovery.

better social eating strategies

Our dietitians advise strategies to create a positive dining atmosphere at your aged care or disability centre as social interaction and mealtime enjoyment lead to better eating habits.

expert enteral nutrition support

We also offer enteral nutrition and gut functionality support for residents and disability patients. Enteral nutrition may result from malnourishment, dysphagia or reduced levels of consciousness.
