Our Speech Pathologists are specialists in working with people who have speech, language and swallowing difficulties.
Did you know that swallowing difficulties are common in older adults and can have serious health consequences? When someone struggles to swallow safely, it can increase the risk of food or liquid entering the lungs (aspiration), which may lead to respiratory issues. 🗣️
It can also make it hard to eat enough, meaning important nutrients like protein might be missed which are essential for keeping muscles strong and supporting overall health.
💡 Speech Pathologists at AvantiCare help older adults maintain safe, enjoyable eating while ensuring they get the nutrition they need, reducing health risks and improving quality of life.
