Nutrition
A healthy diet can help to improve your quality of life. Eating well will help you maintain your health and independence.
We can support you or your loved one to stay healthy through the Support at Home prescribed nutrition service.
Our prescribed nutrition service provides reimbursement for prescribed supplementary dietary products (enteral and oral) and aids required to treat impairments or functional decline. This can include prescribed nutritional supplements purchased from a pharmacy.
