We assess and treat swallowing difficulties with a focus on safety, comfort, and quality of life.
Dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) is a common condition that can affect people with disabilities, progressive neurological conditions, brain injuries, or head and neck cancer. Difficulty swallowing can impact nutrition, hydration, and quality of life, making timely assessment and management essential.
Our Approach
Our dysphagia services focus on comprehensive, personalised care to support safe and effective swallowing. We offer:
✓Detailed assessment of the muscles involved in chewing, swallowing, and managing food and fluids.
✓ Home-based trials of different food and drink textures, ensuring a realistic and comfortable evaluation of swallowing function.
✓ Individualised recommendations tailored to your specific needs to promote safer swallowing and reduce the risk of aspiration.
✓ Training for caregivers and family members to ensure consistent support and understanding of swallowing strategies.
✓ Customised mealtime management plans that align with your dietary preferences and lifestyle.
✓ Collaborative goal-setting to empower you to improve swallowing function, enhance independence, and maintain quality of life.
We work closely with you, your family, and other healthcare providers to create a plan that supports safe, enjoyable, and stress-free eating experiences.
