GERACare's philosophy is to provide holistic, supportive and person-centred care.

Nutritional assessment entails a multi-disciplinary team effort. Every member in the team is of equal importance. The end priority is to optimise quality of life for the elderly individual. This will only be possible if accurate nutritional assessment takes place and if the necessary interventions are implemented.

The evaluation and monitoring of the nutritional status of elderly people in long-term care facilities is of the utmost importance as discussed in the section
