Having nutritious and varied food is important for good health and wellbeing throughout life. As we age, it becomes even more important.

How the team in West Herts can help you

In most cases, malnutrition and dehydration are preventable. As we get older, we may find it more difficult to maintain a healthy weight, which can have a big impact on our wellbeing. Being aware of the signs to look out for, and thinking about what may be getting in the way of eating and drinking well will help you to stay healthy and independent.

As part of a partnership, our Nutrition Support Workers work alongside Dietitians to help you by:

• Helping you to stay independent in your own home for longer
• Provide you with emotional support to improving confidence
• Provide information on services available to you such as lunch clubs and shopping support
• Access to local support such as befriending, interest groups or cleaning help
• Support you with practical tasks such as applying for a Blue Badge or benefits advice
