Good nutrition is vital to our older population in order to prevent the onset of frailty, maintain muscle strength, physical function and most importantly a high quality of life. With the older population often being dependent on others to source food; whether that be in their own homes or in residential care, this places them at a greater risk of malnutrition when combined with pre-existing loss of appetite and potentially social isolation.
NANSW is an experienced service provider to residential aged care facilities, older people living independently at home and community groups.
