Nourishing Older People in residential care and in the community

As life expectancy increases and the numbers of older people in residential care rises, the importance of providing good nourishment to maintain good health and improved quality of life has never been so important.

The physical and mental health of residents in care homes is dependant on the knowledge and skills of the managers, the cooks and care staff.

Providing good nourishment for residents which will include those with diabetes, poor appetites, swallowing difficulties and others needing variations in their nutritional requirements is a highly skilled task.

Regular training for managers, catering and care staff will contribute to adequate nutritional standards and the well being of residents

Feeding people with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias is a skilled task. The attention to nutrition and the behaviours affecting eating and drinking is crucial in encouraging people with dementia to eat well, maintain physical health and enhance their quality of life

• Address the National Care Standards as set out by the Care Standards Commission 2000.
• Improve knowledge and skills so that staff can offer a better service to the residents.
• Promote good nutrition to residents and enhance their quality of life.
• Enable care staff to put nutrition screening into practice
