Send 5 people and receive a free copy of the DVD "Nourish the Body and Soul" (a $99 value).
This workshop focuses on resident-directed dining, bringing the principles and practices of the New Dining Best Practice Standards to your organization in an experiential and practical manner. If you are in households or neighborhoods, it will spark new energy in your teams and generate an excitement about resident-directed life. If you are committed to resident-directed life but still operate in a traditional organization, this workshop help you identify first steps and serve as a guide for your journey.
Learn practical ways to maximize autonomy and individualization in dining by honoring residents’ food and beverage preferences through cost effective choice and accessibility. Understand the importance of personal choice and pleasurable dining experience in defining quality of life at home and in community life. Learn from the successes of others who have successfully implemented resident-directed dining through both simple approaches and major system changes.
Taught by Linda Bump, a registered dietitian and licensed nursing home administrator who authored and presented the white paper, “The Deep Seated Issue of Choice,” for the CMS/Pioneer Network Creating Home II national symposia on Culture Change and the Food and Dining Requirements. Linda also participated in the Pioneer Network Task Force that developed the “New Dining Practice Standards,” and the new toolkit which helps homes implement the new standards.
FEE: A single registration is $120. If sending 2 or more from the same organization, registration is $99 per attendee.
