Aged Care kitchen and catering

Mealtimes are about more than nourishment. They provide an opportunity for residents to connect with others, enjoy meaningful social interactions and experience the pleasure of sharing a meal.

When food is both nutritious and enjoyable, and the dining environment is welcoming and person-centred, residents are more likely to look forward to meals and enjoy a better quality of life. Choice, variety and meals that reflect individual preferences all contribute to a positive dining experience.

Nosh Dietitians partners with aged care providers to develop nutritionally adequate menus, improve food quality and safety, as well as support meaningful mealtime experiences. We work alongside chefs, catering teams and care staff to create dining services that not only meet compliance requirements but also enhance resident satisfaction, wellbeing and quality of life.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You're constantly receiving complaints about the food (i.e. often the most important part of a resident’s day).

  • You often receive reports of residents losing weight or not receiving high quality and nutritious foods.

  • You feel like you need specialised help for both the residents and the food services team.

  • You're frequently seeing the food services budget increase, without seeing a reduction in unintentional weight loss or food complaints.

Imagine if you knew exactly what to do to provide your residents with quality nutritious food they enjoy that is also within budget and also meets Aged Care Quality Standards requirements.

  • Menu Development

    We work with you, using your knowledge of your residents’ preferences, to design a menu that is specific to their nutritional requirements and meets their dietary preferences and cultural needs.

    Creating a delicious menu is important, but creating a nutritious menu can be more challenging. We help you achieve nutritional standards for older people and ensure your recipes and purchase orders support this menu design.

Every older person deserves delicious AND nutritious food.

We help dietitians, aged care chefs, management and catering companies provide high quality food and nutrition services for all older people, both in residential aged care facilities and the community.

Over 20 years of industry experience will fast track your results in food and nutrition services, to meet Aged Care Quality Standards and maintain the quality of life of our older people.

Because they deserve it.
