The nutritional care for older people in long term care has been highlighted as an important area for continued improvement by the National Service Framework for Older People, National Minimum Standards – Care Homes for Older People and through the improving nutritional Care Programme.
NHS Grampian has developed a Care Home’s Nutrition Screening and Diet Resource Pack, a menu planning guide and a Food Fortification Booklet. The information highlights some of the most common nutritional issues and some suggestions on how to improve overall nutritional care.
