Reported practices for identifying malnutrition and frailty vary in the community, suggesting guidance may be needed for health professionals in this setting. Dietitians reported using person-centred care with malnourished and frail clients but encountered barriers in community settings. Engaging family members/carers and multidisciplinary colleagues may help overcome some of these barriers.
