A great example of how mealtimes can support confidence and independence for residents. By introducing a breakfast buffet in the dining area, VHCR is giving residents more choice and control over their morning routine. Well done to the VHCR 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.
