Dietitians working in aged care say they haven't seen a consistent improvement in food quality since the royal commission and supplement announcement, but the industry disagrees.

The survey also found that dietary requirements like coeliac disease are often overlooked and that residents who need help to eat, don't always receive assistance because of poor staffing.

The not-for-profit Adventist Aged Care spends $100,000 a year on a consultancy designed to improve food for its 330 Queensland residents."Our severe malnutrition rates have decreased from 11 per cent to zero. And, positive engagement with the dining room experience has improved by 37 per cent for residents with dementia," she said.
