Breaking SAFETY NEWS: 1/3 Of Residents In Disability and Aged Care Suffer Swallowing Difficulties…

What Will You Do If One Of Your Valued Elderly Residents Suddenly CHOKES On Their Food…And YOU or YOUR Staff MISSED All The Danger Signs?

On average humans swallow 900 times per day… anyone of those could mean trouble if they have swallowing difficulties. 

Are you or your nursing staff properly prepared to deal with it?

Subject: Here is the blunt truth about Safe Swallowing Dysphagia Education and Management …and one remarkable online education program you can access right now! 

Here are some startling facts every carer or Disability and Aged Care Facility Director should know about swallowing difficulties…commonly known as Dysphagia:

Dysphagia occurs in as many as:

• 45% of people over the age of 75
• 33% of residents in disability and aged care 
• 66% of residents needing long-term care

And the consequences can be tragic! If you or your staff is not trained to identify the signs of Dysphagia – as well as the correct food preparation techniques – then choking, even… death, can be the end result!

Sadly, a swallowing difficulty also prevents your residents enjoying one of life’s most basic pleasures, eating. In elderly people, it can reduce their quality of life, increase falls and seriously affect their physical and emotional wellbeing.

For residents suffering from Stroke, Heart Disease, MS, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, Cancer and many other illnesses, the effects of Dysphagia can be traumatic, both physically and emotionally. Worse still, when a patient can’t eat, or eats food not properly prepared…it can even be life threatening.

The GOOD NEWS is it’s never been easier to ensure you, as a carer or Disability and Aged Care Facility staff member, receive the most up-to-date and comprehensive training on Safe Swallowing - Dysphagia…so your loved one or residents remain safe, and you ensure you meet your Duty Of Care requirements.

You’ll no longer need to organise and pay for a qualified speech pathologist, every time you need to train new (or existing) staff on correct swallowing procedures and food preparation.
