Maggie Beer’s crusade to improve the food and nutrition in Australia’s aged care sector hits TV screens this month.
Maggie Beer’s Big Mission is a three-part series premiering on ABC TV this coming Tuesday.
Spurred into action when the Aged Care Royal Commission exposed high rates of malnutrition in older adults living in aged care, Beer, 79, is heading up a social experiment to transform the meals and dining experience in aged care nationwide.
The show focuses on an aged care home in Perth, where she and her team of experts inject new life into the menu, dining rooms, gardens and care model across four months.
Beer seeks to set new standards with the mantra “Make every mouthful count”.
You can catch Maggie Beer’s Big Mission at 8.30pm on Tuesdays from July 9, or on ABC iview.
