Dining is such an important aspect of resident life. Yet despite our best efforts we are not always person-centered in our approach.
In this webinar, Carmen Bowman interviews a team from Brookshire House in Denver, Colorado, about how knowing each person and honoring their food choices actually improved their outcomes. One of the residents will share her perspective on how the "give and take" with the staff helped heal a serious pressure ulcer. The Brookshire team will also discuss how they individualized dining service for a man at risk for choking. A physician, Director of Nursing, Dietitian, Dietary Manager Director, Activities Director, and CNA describe how they worked these tough clinical issues through and got excellent outcomes both for nutrition and for quality of life by listening to residents' preferences. Carmen will share information about new Dining Practice Standards and strategies for implementing them. She facilitated both the Clinical Dining Standards Task Force that developed these new standards, and the 2010 Creating Home II National Symposium on Culture Change and the Food and Dining Requirements co-sponsored by CMS and the Pioneer Network.
