PATIENT & CAREGIVER GUIDE
Your monthly assessment,
explained in one page.
Online history + one monthly in-person visit at a Food Clinic or an eligible van home visit + a full-month diet plan + food recommendations.
Included assessment scope: the team selects suitable checks below within your monthly care. It is not necessary or safe to perform every test on every patient. Confirm equipment and service availability before the visit.
| Assessment / check | What it helps us understand | When it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Health & report review | Discuss health changes, medicines, existing dietary instructions and available reports. Keeps the nutrition plan aligned with your current care. | Online review each month. |
| Food-intake & appetite review | Review a usual day’s food, drinks, portions, appetite and eating difficulties. Identifies practical gaps and barriers to following the plan. | Each month; caregiver input with permission. |
| Nutrition-risk screening | Use an appropriate validated screening tool to identify risk from poor intake or unplanned weight loss and decide whether fuller assessment is needed. A screen is not a diagnosis. | At entry; repeat when appropriate. |
| Weight, height & BMI | Measure suitable baseline height and weight and review weight change. Helps track body-size and weight trends; BMI alone cannot show muscle loss or overall nutrition status. | Weight trend monthly; height usually at baseline. |
| Waist / arm measurements | Selected waist or mid-upper-arm circumference measurements add context about body size and changes over time. Not every measurement is needed for every person. | Where useful, using a consistent method. |
| Body-composition analysis (BIA) | A suitable analyser estimates fat and fat-free mass to support trend review. These are estimates, not direct nutrient-deficiency tests; fluid changes can distort results. | When safe, indicated and equipment is available. |
| Blood-pressure check | An upper-arm monitor records blood pressure for professional review alongside your care instructions. A reading does not independently determine your diet or change medicines. | At the visit when appropriate. |
| Handgrip-strength test | A dynamometer measures grip strength as one functional measure. Results help assess change alongside your history and examination; pain or hand problems can affect them. | When safe, useful and equipment is available. |
| Selected chair-rise / walking check | A trained professional may observe basic physical function to understand limitations relevant to food access and daily activities. It is not a compulsory exercise test. | Only when appropriate, safe and supervised. |
| Caregiver & home-routine review | Review shopping, cooking, meal assistance, budget and agreed substitutions. Helps turn the diet plan into steps the household can actually follow. | Each month, with the patient’s permission. |
