Holiday meals can be among the most anticipated events of the year. They can also require additional planning as dining and clinical teams balance resident choice, therapeutic diets, food allergies, texture modifications, and compliance requirements.
Because every resident deserves to participate, holiday dining should support meaningful traditions, resident choice, and dietary safety, regardless of therapeutic diets, food allergies, or texture modifications.
Join us to explore practical strategies that can help safety and celebration coexist. Through real-world examples and actionable best practices, you’ll learn how to create holiday dining experiences that support dignity, inclusion, resident choice, and meaningful participation while accommodating complex dietary needs.
What you’ll learn:
- Plan holiday menus that accommodate therapeutic diets, food allergies, and texture modifications
- Support resident choice while maintaining a focus on dietary safety and regulatory compliance
- Create inclusive dining experiences that can support resident engagement, satisfaction, and quality of life
- Prepare staff and coordinate teams for well-organized holiday meal service
