AGED CARE DIETITIAN
Dietetics for Aged Care (Support at Home)
We provide mobile dietetics services for people receiving Support at Home and aged care packages throughout Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Moreton Bay, Logan, Gympie and the Fraser Coast.
Our dietitians help older adults maintain good nutrition so they can stay strong, active and independent at home.
Our goal is to help people maintain strength, improve nutrition and continue living safely at home!
Dietetics in aged care focuses on maintaining nutrition to support health, strength and independence. For many older adults, reduced appetite or illness can lead to unintentional weight loss and declining muscle strength.
