These shared narratives play a pivotal role in shaping strategies aimed at elevating the enjoyment of food within residential aged care facilities and across the industry. Your engagement with Explore directly informs the priorities of the Lantern Alliance. Our mission is to enhance residents’ quality of life through the joy of good food.

These reports serve as invaluable resources for guiding future endeavors within the Lantern Alliance, driving continual improvement in the realm of aged care dining experiences.
