Do you wonder if dining really matters? Have we done enough to make dining more resident directed? Why must we continue to move our systems forward in honoring resident choice in dining and in creating relationship-based dining service systems?
There are many reasons:
- Because our residents are demanding it
- Because our residents deserve it
- Because CMS is advocating for increasing change
- Because Households make it possible
and simply
- Because it is the right thing to do!
Participants will explore each topic (see agenda) through lively discussion, stories of the pioneering work of staff and residents, and personal exercises. You will use the guidance and challenges of the New Dining Practice Standards to navigate from Mazlov's early work to creating The Kitchen as a Great Good Place in residents' lives. At the conclusion participants will understand how to build on the inherent characteristics of households to maximize dining as a daily pleasure.
