The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission has released a food, nutrition and dining hotline, so anyone concerned about the quality of the food at residential aged care homes can make a report via the email address at info@agedcarequality.gov.au or the phone number at 1800 951 822.
The commission aims increase its commitment to improve food and nutrition within the residential aged care system and has committed $12.9 million to go towards increasing the capability and accountability of providers.
There are new dietary guidelines and resources for providers to support older people, which can be found here: https://www.agedcarequality.gov.au/providers/quality-care-resources/food-dining-and-nutrition-resources-providers
In-home care providers and Seniors receiving in-home care services can also benefit from these guidelines and resources to support good nutrition.
