Personalised Dietetic & Nutrition Support for Aged Care

Why Nutrition in Aged Care Matters

At Your Nutrition, we provide compassionate, tailored nutrition care for older adults to support healthy aging, maintain independence, and improve quality of life. Our Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) works closely with residents, carers, and aged care providers to deliver practical, evidence-based support across residential aged care facilities, retirement villages, and community settings.

Whether you're seeking group education, menu assessments, or one-on-one nutrition care, we can customise services to meet your needs. Good nutrition is essential to:

  • Support muscle strength and mobility

  • Prevent and treat malnutrition

  • Improve energy and mental alertness

  • Manage chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes, heart disease)

  • Promote independence and overall wellbeing

Our aged care nutrition services align with the Aged Care Quality Standards and support a person-centred, dignified approach to food and nutrition. We provide a wide range of flexible services to enhance resident wellbeing and meet compliance requirements. Whether you’re seeking short-term support or a long-term partnership, we can tailor services to your organisation’s needs. We collaborate closely with facility managers, nurses, lifestyle teams, and kitchen staff.
