Nutritional support in long-term care — Easy Line

ZOL/ZPO Coalition · Healthcare Poland

A ZOL/ZPO Coalition project run with our partner Easy Nutrition — a transparent description of the problem, the method, the goals and how we will develop this nutritional-support initiative for long-term care patients (the Easy Line range).

Who this page is for. Material for facilities and their medical teams, and for Coalition partners. We explain why we address nutrition in long-term care, how we run and validate this project, and how we will develop it — lawfully and free of medicinal promises.

1. The problem: malnutrition in long-term care

Protein-energy malnutrition is one of the most underestimated problems in long-term care. It affects a significant share of elderly and chronically ill patients and stems from reduced appetite, comorbidities, swallowing difficulties and increased metabolic demand. Consequences include loss of muscle mass, weakened immunity, poorer healing and longer recovery — and, at the system level, higher risk of complications and costs.

Scientific guidelines (e.g. ESPEN) emphasise early nutritional assessment and intervention. In practice, facilities lack simple, well-documented tools to support their teams.

2. Why we run this project

Because it is a real gap in care. Nutritional support is often overlooked, even though it affects patient status and team workload.
Because facilities need practical solutions. The Coalition’s role is to connect facilities with well-documented solutions and partners — without acting as a sales intermediary.
Because we act transparently. We base our message on objective nutritional characteristics and facilities’ experience, not on promises of clinical effects. The decision rests with a physician or dietitian.

3. Our method

  1. Pilot (samples) — selected facilities received Easy Line products for practical trial.
  2. Collecting feedback — we gathered teams’ observations and opinions, with positive reception.
  3. Assessment by the medical team — physicians and dietitians decide on relevance and selection.
  4. Consultation and modular selection — a conversation with the partner’s clinical dietitian to match products to needs.

4. The Easy Line range — nutritional profile

Below are the products’ nutritional characteristics. The decision on whether and how to use them for an individual patient rests with a physician or dietitian.

Easy Whey Protein

Whey-protein concentrate — high protein content (approx. 74 g / 100 g).

Easy Shake Complete

Complete profile: protein, energy and prebiotic fibre (approx. 494 kcal / 100 g). Contains milk.

ANIN Semi-solid

Semi-solid (pudding-type) consistency, high energy density (approx. 571 kcal / 100 g).

Easy Calorie Energy

An energy source (maltodextrin), gluten-free; for enriching meals (approx. 380 kcal / 100 g).

Easy Soy Plant

Plant (soy) protein — an alternative for plant-based diets or cow’s-milk protein intolerance.

5. Validation and transparency (due diligence)

  • Product status. Easy Line products are food (food for special medical purposes / food), not medicinal products. We confirm the category and GIS notification with the manufacturer.
  • No health claims. We do not attribute disease-treatment or disease-prevention properties.
  • Under specialist supervision. Use as part of dietary management under a physician or dietitian.
  • Experience as observations. Facilities’ feedback is participants’ opinions, not proof of clinical efficacy.

6. Goals and expected outcomes

Awareness of the problem

Drawing the sector’s attention to nutritional assessment and early intervention in LTC.

Practical support for teams

Access to well-documented solutions and a dietitian consultation.

Better access for facilities

Easier contact with a well-documented partner offer, without a sales intermediary.

Decision with the facility

Full clinical autonomy: the facility’s medical team decides on use.

7. How we will develop it

  • Confirming the products’ regulatory status (category, GIS notification, Polish-market labels) before wider communication.
  • Educating medical staff — materials and nutritional recommendations within the ZOL/ZPO Coalition.
  • Wider availability for interested facilities and consultations with a clinical dietitian.
  • Integration with Coalition recommendations on nutrition in long-term care.

8. The Coalition’s role and communication principles

The ZOL/ZPO Coalition (KiDO · PFSz · Healthcare Poland) acts as coordinator and secretariat. Communication is informational and addressed to facilities’ medical staff. The Coalition does not act as a sales intermediary and does not benefit from individual transactions.

An invitation to talk about the options

Interested facilities are welcome to a conversation and consultation with the partner’s expert:
