Feast for Health Services...
We are available to attend Aged Care Facilities on a regular basis, to assess and manage the nutritional care of residents. We currently work with a number of Aged Care Facilities in this manner, and offer superior quality of care to all residents.
From the 1st of July 2024, it is mandatory for all residential aged care facilities to engage a qualified dietitian to conduct yearly a Menu and Mealtime Quality Assessment.
This assessment process has been developed by Dietitians Australia (DA) for the exclusive use by Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs), to provide your aged care home with an expert assessment and recommendations for your nutrition care, menu and mealtime experience, using the Aged Care Quality Standards as the framework.
This comprehensive audit includes a visit to your Residential Aged Care home, interviews with relevant staff, an assessment of the menu, observations of the meal service, weighing of sample meal components and a review of documentation (for example, policies and procedures) relevant to food and nutrition care.
Relevant components of the Aged Care Quality Standards will be rated as either ‘achieved, ‘not achieved’ or ‘in progress’. The recommendations and corrective action plan that will be included in the report we provide, can be used in quality improvement plans specific to the menu, meals, mealtime environment and nutrition care of your residents.

For many years, our enthusiastic dietitians have provided weekly nutrition talks to participants of a local health retreat. We also love to provide nutrition talks to local community groups, private or corporate organisations.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you are looking for a dietitian to provide a nutrition presentation of the highest quality to your group or team.
