Enhancing aged care menus: Small changes, quick wins

A recent, world-first study found that increasing dairy consumption among aged care residents significantly reduces their risk of falls and fractures. While this intervention was also found to be cost-effective, at less than $1 per resident per day, dairy intakes in residential aged care still fall short. In this podcast, Accredited Practising Dietitian, Louise Murray, shares her first-hand experience of how dietitians can confidently start conversations with staff to enhance menu offerings and boost resident's nutritional intakes. Louise also shares her top tips for starting at a new facility and ways to overcome implementation challenges.
