Meal Service in Aged Care

CPDTime.
5m of CPD
Attentive meal service combined with healthy and flavoursome food can be a high point in the day of aged care residents. It’s crucial to serve food in a way that looks appealing and satisfying, and to arrange food with the same level of detail that you would serve your own meals.

What is this article about?

Attentive meal service combined with healthy and flavoursome food can be a high point in the day of aged care residents. Dining in aged care is a topic worthy of consideration, as about half of all aged care residents in Australia are either malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. It would be unwise to underestimate the effect that food presentation and service have on appetite and an individual’s eagerness to participate in mealtime.

Sometimes I find it really hard to make time for my learning, but I was blown away by how easy it is with the Ausmed app. I can fit it in during breaks or on the bus to work.
