Evaluating current services to identify systems that deliver satisfying, effective, high quality care to vulnerable older Australians in aged care facilities (ACFs) is of national significance. If residents are more satisfied with their meals, their nutritional status will either improve or stabilise, reducing their risk of malnutrition-related morbidity and mortality and the associated financial burden to health care services. The cost of residential aged care is significant and growing and is subject to increased monitoring and concern. This project will suggest refinements of the Aged Care Accreditation Standards to improve their applicability to ACF residents and appropriateness for evaluating resident-focused nutritional care.

评估当前的服务，以确定系统提供满意的，有效的，高质量的护理，在老年护理设施（ACFs）脆弱的澳大利亚老年人是具有全国意义。如果居民对自己的膳食更满意，他们的营养状况就会改善或稳定下来，从而降低与营养不良有关的发病率和死亡率的风险，并减轻卫生保健服务的相关财政负担。老年人住宿护理的成本是巨大的，而且还在不断增长，受到越来越多的监测和关注。本项目将建议完善老年护理认证标准，以提高其对ACF居民的适用性和评估以居民为中心的营养护理的适宜性。
