By partnering with Food Solutions, your facility can promote better health, wellbeing, and quality of life for residents while meeting industry standards for nutrition and care.
As we age, our care needs often become more complex.
For many residents in aged care facilities, difficulty swallowing—known as dysphagia—and challenges in meeting nutritional requirements are common.
These issues may arise due to neurological conditions such as strokes, dementia, or Parkinson’s disease, or simply as part of the natural ageing process.
For residents, mealtime challenges can be uncomfortable, confusing, and even frightening.
For carers, they can be equally challenging and frustrating, requiring careful management and individual tailored solutions.
At Food Solutions, we are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life, wellness, and independence of older Australians.
Our expert speech pathologists have experience in supporting older Australians with the complexities that arise with swallowing difficulties, and aim to support mealtime safety and optimise nutrition while supporting a persons’ dignity and comfort.
