Are you still not celebrating various ethnicities & incorporating themes into the life of your home starting with food and the dining experience? Learn how to celebrate diversity with dining.
This is a continuation of the 2023 series, Back to the Future: Moving Dining Forward.
Hosted and presented by Carmen Bowman MHS, BSW, Regulator turned Educator.
With Registered Dietitian and Licensed Nursing Home Administrator: Linda Bump MPH, RD, Action Pact Consultant.
From token to true choice, using regulations and standards to help people living in long-term care to eat what they want to eat, and to live the lives they want to live.
Come out of the pandemic better. Take advantage of this time and do it different. Learn how to shift your culture to honor each individual and get back to normal, to HOME, particularly in all things dining and vibrant daily living.
Each webinar will be framed by culture change practices, the Dining Practice Standards, leaning into CMS requirements and the Artifacts of Culture Change 2.0, the domains of wellbeing embedded in the CMS RoPs, and Kitwood’s basic human needs.
Topics and concepts will include:
Offer true choice, not token choice
Real foods not artificial
Nourishment for body and soul
Ability to get snacks without needing to ask
A normal dining experience
Open dining times instead of set
Regular diets instead of restricted
Delicious foods of a pureed consistency, replacing unpalatable
Varying cultural/ethnic preferences
Simple and daily pleasures
Involve residents in preparation of foods
All this and more will help your home comply with CMS requirements to honor choice, health and wellbeing. Culture change practices and the Dining Practice Standards have helped professionals to help residents eat foods they want to eat, to gain instead of lose weight, enjoy dining and vibrant life again and experience improvement in their quality of living.
Join us for each month's conversation guided by Linda Bump and Carmen Bowman.

COVID Considerations
After a hiatus due to COVID, Action Pact is resuming in-person training sessions. Our staff are all fully vaccinated, and proof of vaccination will be required from all attendees. We will be following current CDC guidance regarding virus protocols (distancing, masking, etc) and complying with any existing federal, state and local mandates at the time of each session. Finally, we must reserve the right to cancel sessions at any time if the changing COVID situation makes it impossible or impractical to hold them. If this should happen, all participants will be able to transfer their registration to another session or receive a full refund.
We are also continuing to schedule Intensives using distance learning. These programs include online lectures, discussions, homework assignments, e-learning modules and direct interactions with the instructors. They provide the same great content and are approved for the same number of CEUs (where applicable). This is a great alternative for those who are unable to attend an in-person session.
Because the Nurse Leader Intensive is hosted in a functioning Household Model environment, the safety needs of their residents must be prioritized. If the hosting facility is unable to host the Intensive on-site due to COVID restrictions at the time of the session, we will move to an off-site location for the training and feature visits from facility staff and coordinated video links with the hosting organization. As with all of our in-person sessions, all attendees must be fully vaccinated and we will be following CDC guidance and complying with all federal, state and local mandates at the time of the session.

With Registered Dietitian and Licensed Nursing Home Administrator: Linda Bump MPH, RD, Action Pact Consultant.
From token to true choice, using regulations and standards to help people living in long-term care to eat what they want to eat, and to live the lives they want to live.
Come out of the pandemic better. Take advantage of this time and do it different. Learn how to shift your culture to honor each individual and get back to normal, to HOME, particularly in all things dining and vibrant daily living.
Each webinar will be framed by culture change practices, the Dining Practice Standards, leaning into CMS requirements and the Artifacts of Culture Change 2.0, the domains of wellbeing embedded in the CMS RoPs, and Kitwood’s basic human needs.
Topics and concepts will include:
Offer true choice, not token choice
Real foods not artificial
Nourishment for body and soul
Ability to get snacks without needing to ask
A normal dining experience
Open dining times instead of set
Regular diets instead of restricted
Delicious foods of a pureed consistency, replacing unpalatable
Varying cultural/ethnic preferences
Simple and daily pleasures
Involve residents in preparation of foods
All this and more will help your home comply with CMS requirements to honor choice, health and wellbeing. Culture change practices and the Dining Practice Standards have helped professionals to help residents eat foods they want to eat, to gain instead of lose weight, enjoy dining and vibrant life again and experience improvement in their quality of living.

COVID Considerations
After a hiatus due to COVID, Action Pact is resuming in-person training sessions. Our staff are all fully vaccinated, and proof of vaccination will be required from all attendees. We will be following current CDC guidance regarding virus protocols (distancing, masking, etc) and complying with any existing federal, state and local mandates at the time of each session. Finally, we must reserve the right to cancel sessions at any time if the changing COVID situation makes it impossible or impractical to hold them. If this should happen, all participants will be able to transfer their registration to another session or receive a full refund.
We are also continuing to schedule Intensives using distance learning. These programs include online lectures, discussions, homework assignments, e-learning modules and direct interactions with the instructors. They provide the same great content and are approved for the same number of CEUs (where applicable). This is a great alternative for those who are unable to attend an in-person session.
Because the Nurse Leader Intensive is hosted in a functioning Household Model environment, the safety needs of their residents must be prioritized. If the hosting facility is unable to host the Intensive on-site due to COVID restrictions at the time of the session, we will move to an off-site location for the training and feature visits from facility staff and coordinated video links with the hosting organization. As with all of our in-person sessions, all attendees must be fully vaccinated and we will be following CDC guidance and complying with all federal, state and local mandates at the time of the session.
