| Annotation | First published in 2002, this handbook is designed for owners, managers, chefs and other staff of care homes who have responsibility for older people's nutritional health. Illnesses and conditions that particularly affect older people are discussed, as is the requirement to care for the needs and tastes of people from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. It covers special diets, and problems with nutrition, swallowing, eating and drinking. It includes an appendix on the Heimlich manoeuvre (to alleviate choking). (RH). |
