Spurred into action by the shock findings of the Aged Care Royal Commission, which exposed high rates of malnutrition in older adults living in aged care, Beer, 79, is heading an ambitious, world-first social experiment to transform the meals and dining experience in aged care nationwide.

The show focuses on an aged care home in Perth, where she and her team of experts inject new life into the menu, dining rooms, gardens, and care model across four months.
