Why is talking about food important? Food brings people together. It connects us through memories, traditions and shared experiences. Through the Maggie Beer Foundation's #HomePlate Project, we're listening to older people about their experiences with food and eating at home. These conversations help us understand what matters to them and how they can be better supported. 💬 Let's keep the conversation going! What does food mean to you? Is it the memories, the flavours or the people you share it with? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

This International Day of Older Persons reminds us of the joy that sharing good food brings at every age. So, please, set an extra space at your table and reach out to someone in your world who otherwise eats a lot of their meals alone. Good food and good company belong together! #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons

A great example of how mealtimes can support confidence and independence for residents. By introducing a breakfast buffet in the dining area, VMCH - John R Hannah. is giving residents more choice and control over their morning routine. Well done to the VMCH - John R Hannah. team for bringing this approach to life. #AgedCare #FoodAndDining #ChoiceAndIndependence #MaggieBeerFoundation

Putting new skills into practice. At one of our recent Practical Hubs, aged care catering teams were challenged to get creative with texture-modified food, focusing on how it was plated and presented. The photos speak for themselves. It's a great example of how thoughtful presentation can make a real difference to the look and appeal of texture-modified meals. Our Practical Hubs give chefs and cooks the chance to build their skills, share ideas and take practical techniques back to their own kitchens.
