Special Diets Manual 

 The Health Management Special Diets manual is a must for all aged care facilities. It is useful for nursing departments and food service departments as a reliable nutrition reference tool. This manual cannot replace the individualised service of a dietitian, but sometimes there are simple nutrition questions that can be answered by quickly turning to the appropriate page of Health Management’s – Special Diets Manual. Nursing and food service staff benefit from greater knowledge about their patients condition and how nutrition can help.

With over 250 pages, each health condition or special diet provides background information on conditions and the diet, a list of foods that are allowed and foods that are not allowed, checklist for inclusion in resident notes and an example meal plan covering 3 days.

Disaster Menu

Cyclones and Flooding are persistant in Cairns and NQ, so we developed a disaster menu to allow our facilities to continue to meet the nutritional needs of their residents. The Disaster menu includes a 3-day menu assuming no facilities are available; a disaster preparation checklist; disaster recipes; diets for texture modified residents
