Duration: 30 minutes | Format: SMS | Certificate included

Elevate Care Quality with Practical Nutrition Training

Poor nutrition rarely causes a crisis overnight—but it shows up quietly. A client seems more tired than usual. Healing takes longer. Weight shifts. Energy drops. Over time, these small changes turn into bigger health concerns, family worries, and more strain on your care team. When caregivers don’t fully understand food groups and nutrition basics, even well-meant meals can unintentionally work against a client’s health.

The Food Group Basics Course for Caregivers gives your team the confidence to make better nutrition choices every single day. Across six short, practical lessons, caregivers learn how food groups affect the aging body, what calories, fats, sugar, and cholesterol actually do, and which foods help—or harm—older adults. There’s no fluff or complex diet talk—just clear, real-world guidance caregivers can use immediately.

For your business, this training creates real impact. Caregivers become more proactive, spot nutrition issues earlier, and support diets that align with each client’s health needs. That leads to healthier clients, fewer avoidable issues, and stronger trust with families. Most importantly, it helps your organization deliver the kind of care people notice, value, and recommend with confidence.
