I know the topic is serious but I still had to giggle imagining an aged care organisation popping down to the local Coles to grab a few loaves of bread and bottles of milk XD They would be buying things in bulk for sure, along with the glorious bulk discount.

_{as an aside a lot of people would probably do better buying direct from farmers/market growers if they have the opportunity to do so but the government and the middle corporations seem to go absolutely out of their way at all costs to prevent this from happening blathering some bullshit about quality control when it seems to be primarily about lining their own pockets}

My aunty cares for my grandmother and I can definitely say she doesn't eat much. Basically the only time she will eat a decent lunch or dinner is when the kids and I are over, because it's a "special occasion" (even though I'm there pretty much every week!). Otherwise all my aunty can get her to eat is one single solitary soft-boiled chicken egg (sometimes with toast if she's actually hungry!) or a bird-sized bowl of porridge or a weetbix in the morning, dinner leftovers for lunch if she's lucky otherwise they usually don't even bother with lunch, and either my aunty will cook up something for dinner or they'll have whatever my other aunty down the road dropped off (other aunty sometimes does a big cookup and drops off a few days' supply of dinners).

Healthcare in general does seem to be horribly understaffed doesn't it :<
