Today is R U OK? Day, Australia's annual su***de prevention campaign encouraging us to stay connected and have conversations to help each other through difficult times.

If you have a friend or family member who is later in life, remember that showing up for them, listening, and opening a dialogue to better understand their needs and feelings, can result in a great deal of comfort and safety.

Use these four steps and have a conversation that could change a life:

1. Ask R U OK?
2. Listen
3. Encourage action
4. Check in

Should you have any questions about supporting the needs of someone considering or currently receiving in-home care, please contact our team: https://ow.ly/mONm50ZL6Jk

If you believe someone is in crisis, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

A good meal is about so much more than nutrition.

For many older Australians, mealtimes are moments of comfort, independence and connection. But as we age, changes in appetite, health conditions and medications can make eating well more challenging.

In our latest article, we share practical tips on creating nutritious, enjoyable meals while respecting each person's tastes, cultural traditions and dietary needs.

Because everyone deserves meals they look forward to, not just meals that meet nutritional requirements.
