Impact of Nutrition in Residential Care

This week I had the opportunity to sit down with Brittany from VCare International Limited to join in the podcast to explore the impact of nutrition in residential care 🎧

🍲 Nutrition in aged care is about more than meals — it’s about dignity, wellbeing, and quality of life.

In our latest episode of the VCare Podcast, we sit down with Registered Dietitian Terryn Choat to explore the real impact of nutrition in residential care.

Terryn shares:

✅ Why BMI alone doesn’t tell the whole story

✅ The risks of over-relying on supplements and laxatives

✅ Practical, food-first strategies facilities can adopt today

✅ How aligning nutrition with facility culture transforms outcomes

This conversation is full of practical insights for care providers, managers, and teams who want to improve resident health and wellbeing.
