Risks vs Rewards: The Challenges and Pitfalls of Aged Care Catering Solutions

As the aged care industry continues to face mounting financial challenges, Cater Care has released a new eBook designed to provide facility administrators with the information necessary to make informed decisions about their aged care catering solutions.

Cater Care, an industry leading catering provider in the aged care sector, has launched an eBook titled “Risks & Rewards: In-house vs Outsourced Catering” that provides aged care administrators with an in-depth analysis of in-house versus outsourced catering solutions.

The decision to provide in-house or outsourced contract catering for facility residents is one that will greatly impact their care and overall quality of life. Cater Care’s new eBook is intended as a comprehensive guide that provides insights for administrations looking to balance competing priorities with the best outcomes for their residents – and their bottom line.

“I’m proud to see this eBook finally being released to the industry. Making an informed choice around catering for your facility is the first step in delivering high-quality care with an impeccable standard of living for your residents.” said Bryce Williams, Cater Care’s Chief Operating Officer – Urban. “Here at Cater Care, we strive to stand out from the crowd with a tailored and cost-effective approach to service, but we understand that many administrations want more information about their options before diving in. This eBook provides a wealth of information that could help an administrator navigate catering in aged care, and I look forward to seeing how aged care providers receive it!”

The guide contains a range of information, including:

  • The advantages of both in-house and outsourced approaches
  • Hidden risks and costs of in-house solutions
  • The impact of staff quality and availability on catering outcomes
  • Budgetary concerns and how to address them
  • The importance of maintaining a high standard of nutrition

The eBook also features case studies from aged care providers who have opted to change from in-house to outsourced catering solutions.
