Residential Aged Care Facilities
Immediate Capacity – Now Accepting New Referrals
At VK Dietetics, we support residential aged care facilities to deliver high-quality, person-centred nutrition care that meets the diverse needs of older adults. Our services are designed to improve resident wellbeing, reduce the risk of malnutrition and related complications, and support compliance with the Aged Care Quality Standards. We work closely with care staff and management to provide practical, evidence-based support that enhances the overall standard of nutritional care within your facility.
Services We Offer
Individualised Nutrition Assessments & Medical Nutrition Therapy
We conduct thorough assessments for residents to identify nutritional status and provide tailored interventions for a wide range of conditions, such as unintentional weight loss, malnutrition, diabetes, pressure injuries, dysphagia, dementia, and kidney disease.
Oral Nutrition Supplement Prescription and Reviews
Where food intake alone is insufficient to meet a resident’s nutritional needs, we provide oral nutrition supplement prescriptions to help optimise their intake. We also assess current supplement use to ensure it is clinically appropriate and tailored to the resident’s individual requirements.
Menu Reviews
We offer comprehensive menu reviews for aged care facilities to ensure meals are nourishing, and aligned with the nutritional needs of older adults. Our menu reviews support compliance with the Aged Care Quality Standards.
Staff Education Sessions
We deliver practical training sessions to kitchen, carers, and nursing staff on key nutrition topics such as malnutrition, diabetes, wound management, mealtime assistance, hydration, and special diets. This empowers staff to better support residents’ nutritional needs.
