Sam Bridgewater and Maia Royal founded the company in 2013 after Sam’s beloved stepdad got sick. The options available meant he just didn’t want to eat. His energy drained away, and recovery slowed.

It’s a story repeated every day across health and aged care facilities – seniors require almost twice as much protein as elite athletes, and most are getting as little as 60% of what they need. The result is lower weight and muscle mass, more illness, falls and hospitalisations and much less freedom to enjoy life.

 

We formed a team of the best chefs, aged-care facilities, dieticians, speech therapists and – most importantly – the people who would eat the food and began creating foods that could fit our mission to nourish the world’s seniors. We developed a range of over 4500 texture modified meal combinations to high protein fruit, smoothies and snacks suitable for all residents. We built a turn-key food system around food people enjoy combined with the nutrition residents need, with support for facilities to simplify mealtimes, compliance and resident satisfaction.
