Accreditation

Is your facility meeting Nutrition & Hydration requirements?

Leading Nutrition’s Nutrition & Hydration Audit is designed to identify any gaps, highlight areas of excellence and recommend improvements in nutrition, hydration and swallowing. It is designed specifically to assist with facilities meeting Aged Care Accreditation Standards and identify areas for continuous improvement. The Nutrition & Hydration Audit is undertaken by an Accredited Practising Dietitian who will review all systems relating to nutrition and hydration.

The audit includes investigation through:

  • 1hr interview with catering manager

  • 1hr interview with clinical manager and/or Director of Nursing

  • Documentation audit (resident files, kitchen documentation, and any other documents relating to nutrition, hydration and swallowing)

  • Education needs assessment

  • Policy and Procedure audit

  • Meal time observation

  • Discussion with resident/family

    •

    Findings from the audit are compiled into a comprehensive report and presented to your facility. Leading Nutrition’s dietitians are experienced in aged care and have completed several projects in consultation with the GP Networks to audit residential aged care facilities.
