Food and Dining

At Juniper, we believe that food and nutrition have a major role in meeting the physical and functional needs of our residents and our meals contribute significantly to their quality of life.

The DINE experience

Our Residential Aged Care customers can expect:

Quality dining experience – Top-quality table settings, table service, and meal presentations.

Cooked in our kitchens –Menus designed by our in-house chefs and prepared daily in our kitchens.

Nutritionally balanced – Nutrition becomes increasingly important as we age, with higher levels of vitamin D, vitamin B12, protein, fibre, and calcium required.

Seasonally-driven – With fresh West Australian grown produce to support our local farmers.

Choice and variety – Options at each meal-time and changing menus.

Texture modified food options

For our residents that have trouble with swallowing (dysphagia), we offer a texture modified food and drink that follows the internationally recognised IDDSI guidelines.

Our Juniper chefs are trained to meet the IDDSI guidelines so we can provide our residents with food and liquid of appropriate texture and consistency, that also smells and tastes great.

It’s not just a matter of sticking food in a blender – we texture modify the main course on all our menus for residents that require this option and add additional nutritional ingredients to ensure our residents are tasting the same food as everyone else, while still catering to their dietary needs to help keep them strong and healthy.
