pyramid.
• Make an effort to limit offerings of high calorie, high fat and low nutrient-density
foods such as cakes, cookies, chips and doughnuts. Provide more nutritious foods,
such as fresh fruits and vegetables and yogurt.
• If serving specific ethnic or religious groups, try to include some ethnic menus and
menu items to accommodate varying preferences and religious practices.
• Plan the menu in accordance with needs and tastes of children. Offer alternatives
for foods which are not safe or suitable for younger children. Provide child-sized
eating utensils and arrange for appropriate child seating.
• If serving food cafeteria-style, try to accommodate individual requests for smaller
portion sizes and allow individuals to decline certain items, especially for children
and adults with poor appetite.
• Provide a forum for families to give menu suggestions and feedback regarding all
aspects of food provision.
• Although families can assist in meal preparation and planning, having a
professional cook is the most efficient way to ensure that meals are consistent in
quality and food resources are used most economically. A professional cooking
staff may also serve as a resource for training and education of residents and other
staff members.
• If employing foodservice staff, periodically assess food safety procedures and the
need for additional training. Provide foodservice staff with training opportunities
when indicated (i.e., at local community colleges, area restaurants or via the
Internet).
• Document and investigate facility food preparation and handling whenever
vomiting and diarrhea, which are often symptoms of food-borne illnesses, occur
among residents.
