Leading Nutrition prides itself on providing an outstanding Aged Care Dietitian Service to all of the aged care facilities we work with.  Our mission is to promote wellness for healthy ageing – delivering expert nutrition services through care, collaboration and innovation.

Whether helping residents, staff, or management, we focus on the nutrition goals of each, and help them achieve their best. Our dietitians constantly look for opportunities to improve the quality of life of residents, often receiving feedback of performing beyond expected standards.

We collaborate with food services to create nutritious, contemporary menus that meet the changing needs in aged care. Through the comprehensive Menu Review process, our dietitians work closely with chefs to ensure that menus meet the nutritional requirement for the older population and respond to preferences and needs of the specific facilities.

We apply our best practise approach to Aged Care nutrition, as well as consulting with hospitals, other institutions and home care providers.

All across the country our expert Aged Care dietitians are ready to help you.

Some homes are no longer using their dining rooms, while others are implementing strategies to allow for the social distancing.
Importance of the dining environment
The dining environment influences residents’ enjoyment of their food. Read more »
