Menus for Asssisted Living Facilities

Providing good menus for assisted living facilities is extremely important for both the bottom line and for providing the correct experience for residents. Meal time for residents is typically something they look forward to. Most assisted living menus found in facilities are static, bland and have been in use past their prime.

So what makes a good menu?

Seasonal – A good seasonal menu is very important. Residents from senior housing or any living community love to have choices that fit the seasons and holidays.
Flexible – A flexible menu caters to the needs of your facility. The residents personal needs, size of the facility, dietary restrictions and regional preferences are all important to take into account when choosing a menu plan. An independent care facility should not be using a menu that would be used in a nursing home.
Healthy – Many people believe that a healthy menu is an expensive menu. This isn’t always true. A good balanced menu can be cost effective, enjoyable and healthy. Providing seniors with good nutrition makes a difference in their overall quality of life. Most states require assisted living facilities to have a dietitian approved menu that meets RDA guidelines.
Enjoyable – At the end of the day a nursing home menu that is enjoyable and healthy is very important.

Trends in senior living dining has been changing over the years. Most menus evolved from nursing home menus that were very rigid and bland. Today seniors expect much more from the food they are being served and rightfully so.

Having a good menu plan with great recipes will help you deliver on the expectations of your residents, and even contribute to their independent living.
