Older people play so many important roles in our lives. They’re our grandparents, our mentors, our storytellers and so much more.

So, we asked our team members to share something their grandparents have taught them.

Here are a few of the things they said:

“My nan always said good manners cost nothing, and that’s definitely stuck with me.”

“My grandad taught me to look after what you have instead of always wanting something new.”

“My grandma was big on checking in with people. She’d always call just to see how you were going.”

“My nanna taught me to always make a little extra food, just in case someone stayed for dinner.”

This World Heart Day, we’re shining a light on the role everyday food choices can play in supporting heart health as we age.

The Heart Foundation recommends an eating pattern rich in vegetables, fruit and wholegrains, alongside healthy protein-rich foods and healthy fats, while limiting foods high in saturated fat and salt.

At Tender Loving Cuisine, our menu guide icons are there to make nutritional information a little easier to understand. Icons such as Good Source of Fibre and Good Source of Protein can help customers quickly identify some of the nutritional qualities of different meals.

Small, practical tools can make choosing meals that suit your needs feel a little simpler.

They say we eat with our eyes, and we think familiar-looking food can make a real difference at mealtimes.

Soft & Easy is our new texture-modified meal range, carefully moulded so each part of the meal remains recognisable on the plate while providing the texture our customers need.

Available in both Level 4 Pureed and Level 5 Minced & Moist, Soft & Easy has been created to help make texture-modified meals feel more familiar, inviting and enjoyable.

At 94, Marta Barany has no plans to retire.

After more than 60 years working as an interpreter and translator, Marta still works for a few hours a day, five days a week, and says her work continues to give her energy and purpose.

One line from Marta’s story particularly stood out to us:

“If my mind works, I will still work.”

As part of our commitment to providing nutritious and delicious meals for older Australians, we’re excited to share some new additions to the TLC menu.

We’re especially excited to introduce **Soft & Easy**, our first texture-modified range. These meals are moulded so the individual components remain recognisable on the plate, while still providing the required modified texture.

For the first time, TLC is also offering a range of sweet and savoury breakfast options, from porridge and pancakes to frittata and a hearty brunch bowl.

You’ll also find new sides and muffins joining the menu.

Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner or something in between, there are now even more options to choose from.

Are you okay?

As we get older, our minds may change, but that doesn’t make looking after our mental health any less important.

Loneliness and social isolation can affect our mental wellbeing as we age, which makes staying connected and checking in with one another even more important.

So today, take a moment to check in with the young and the old, and help make sure no one feels left behind.

If you or someone you know needs further support, Lifeline is available on 13 11 14.

As we celebrate Father’s Day, we recognise that the meaning of the day can shift as we age.

When we become fathers ourselves, it can become less about the generation before us and more about the generation that comes after us.

The hands we hold, the tears we dry, the moments we celebrate.

So whether you’re a father or father figure, we hope your day is filled with love and special moments with those who mean the most.

Spring is here!

A new season is a good excuse to give the freezer and pantry a little refresh. Clear out anything that’s been hiding at the back, check those best before dates, and make a little room for something new.

And if your freezer is looking a bit bare afterwards, we’ve got plenty of comforting favourites to help you restock, from main meals to desserts and snacks.

Today, on World Senior Citizen’s Day, we recognise and celebrate the older people who contribute so much to our families, communities and everyday lives.

Getting older can bring plenty of changes, but it shouldn’t mean losing choice, independence or the ability to keep enjoying the things that matter most.

Today is a chance to acknowledge the experience, wisdom and contribution of older people, and the importance of creating communities where people can continue to feel valued, connected and supported as they age.
