Nutrition & Hydration
Our home care team know the importance of a good diet and hydration, we cater for all types of dietary requirements and cultures.
Good health for older adults lies in nourishing their bodies with the perfect balance of nutrition and hydration
It may seem daunting, but with our help, we can create delicious meals and provide an abundance of essential fluids that cater to the unique needs of every individual at every stage of life.
The enticing aroma and flavour of food have the power to trigger cherished memories and emotions. Our team understands this and strives to incorporate beloved favourites alongside introducing exciting new dishes to tantalise taste buds.
From simple re-heating to preparing elaborate homemade meals, our dedicated caregivers are equipped to cater to all meal preferences and dietary restrictions. We also offer specialised assistance for those with specific nutritional requirements, such as thickened drinks, diabetic diets, and blood sugar monitoring.
But it’s not just about the food – we also emphasise the importance of meal planning and organisation. Our caregivers work closely with clients and their families to create shopping lists, purchase fresh ingredients, and cook and serve nourishing meals in the comfort of their own homes.
Our caregivers are trained in food hygiene and nutrition
They continuously monitor and evaluate food and fluid intake to ensure our clients' optimal health. With our attentive support, we keep a close watch on immediate and long-term dietary trends, ensuring that our clients receive the necessary sustenance for their well-being.
