G114 Catalog 11210PR Using carts for tableside or resident choice
Tableside or resident choice dining is based on the philosophy that a care community is home to the resident so it should be as resident-focused and homelike as possible. Simply giving the resident a daily voice as to what is served before the meal is plated will help create a homelike environment.
Instead of staff running back and forth with trays or pre-plated meals and reading long preference lists, go with a mobile cart and bring the food right into the dining room. That way, residents can see, smell and choose their food, and then staff can serve according to what and how much the residents prefer.
You’ll discover the results are hotter food, individual serving sizes, positive interaction and less food waste as well as significant food cost savings!
