Research Project Currently Funding  

Project Title: Listening to the residents in RAC - engaging those who have no voice in menu planning

  • Cognitive decline and dementia is increasing among residents
  • The "squeaky wheel" often drives what's on the menu
  • We need valid ways to determine what those who are "voiceless" want on the menu
  • We need research to develop tools to help food service staff with this

Project goal  $20,000  - Currently raised $6,700

To support this research project, please consider donating. All donations are tax-deductible. 

Goals 

Research is the key to preventing and controlling chronic disease. The NACi believes:

Foodservices are essential in supporting services and promoting research and education to support operations.

Foodservices is in a unique position as education to improve staff skills improves not only care but also impacts communities.

Foodservice is an untapped and novel area currently underdeveloped and therefore is primed to make large and lasting changes to the prevention and control of chronic diseases.

Foodservice supports the care of a large proportion of the Australian population, and the NACi can influence and make inroads to reduce the current rates of chronic disease.

NACi can assist with the following and undertake targeted research for organsations:

  • Food manufacturing research and product development
  • Assist with the development of research design and evaluation
  • Foodservice system research
  • Translating nutrition and foodservice findings in practical application
  • Best practice models
  • Development of policy, standards and guidelines

NACi is looking for aged-care research partners
