Diet & Nutrition

People with neuro-disabilities are often considered to be nutritionally at risk; for many, this maybe because their condition affects their ability to swallow; for others, their disabilities may have left them more susceptible to weight gain.

Ensuring that all patients are properly nourished and hydrated is an essential part of their care; it underpins patients' overall health and well-being, and can help reduce the risk of infection.

How we help
Every person that comes to stay with us is regularly seen by our team of Dietitians, who - working with our specialist team and catering chefs - make informed changes to their nutritional intake to ensure their diet is balanced according to their specific needs.

For each individual, this can involve:

-	tailoring the nutritional density and texture of their diet to suit their medical and physical condition, and their dietary preferences.
-	ensuring their diet is adequate despite difficulties with eating and drinking.
-	fully supporting differences in how they take food and drink, be it orally, via a tube, or a mixture of the two.
