TO help care homes provide good nutrition for residents living with specialist dietary needs, apetito has launched a free comprehensive guide, Specialist Nutrition: Supporting Health in Care Homes, packed full of insightful information and expert guidance.
For every care home, the importance of catering well for those with specialist dietary requirements cannot be overstated. Every resident deserves access to a nutritional and safe meal that still delivers on both delicious flavour and enjoyment, no matter their dietary needs.
The Specialist Nutrition: Supporting Health in Care Homes guide looks at topics such as best practice in catering for those living with dementia, the importance of mobilising personalised nutritional pathways for residents and understanding and managing allergens. It also explores a selection of frequently asked questions on catering for special diets within the care industry, answered by apetito’s own in-house Dietetic experts.
Richard Woodward, general manager for care homes at apetito, said the new guide has been specially developed to offer homes helpful advice and genuine support.
“We understand the real challenge faced by care homes when catering for many residents with specialist nutritional needs,” he added.
“Creating this guide has allowed us to share the knowledge and expertise that we’ve developed since the launch of our first texture modified range, over 13 years ago.
“This essential resource has been tailored to help homes ensure that all residents are getting the nutrition that they need through looking at best practice and hearing first-hand from others in the industry on how they manage residents’ dietary requirements.”
