Nutrition
Residents’ Health is Our Top Priority!
The most essential aspect of working in a care home is ensuring residents’ health and wellbeing. That’s why a nutrition module is an intrinsic part of Care Vision. From identifying allergens to helping residents maintain a balanced diet, this useful feature can help you tailor meals to people’s requirements, assuring a safe and enjoyable dining experience. Having this information to hand not only enables chefs to create well-rounded meals, but it also keeps residents informed about their nutritional intake.
Nutritional Insights to Support Dietary Needs
Care Vision’s nutritional analytical tool helps care staff keep track of vital nutritional requirements, updates and general records. Types and amounts of nutrients consumed by each resident are checked and recorded in an easy-to-read flow chart. The system also prompts chefs about potential allergens in recipes, helping to eliminate the risk of adverse reactions and medical emergencies. Important data and insights like these help chefs to understand the impact of their choices when meal planning and helps carers ensure that residents are kept safe and well-nourished at every meal.
Automates Dietary and Nutritional Intake Administration
The nutrition tool automates the processes around tracking essential nutrients, based on the dietary choices of residents and the food that is consumed, which will save time and enhance the productivity of the staff as a whole. What’s more, ingredients are pre-loaded into the module, making it easy for a chef to list what they use in each meal. This holistic approach allows all parties to focus on what matters most – giving the best possible care.
