During this webinar, you learn that:
- Weight loss is common in senior care communities and one of the frequent causes is therapeutic diets.
- Quality of life and nutritional status of older adults in healthcare communities can be enhanced by individualization to less-restrictive diets.
- Various and creative ways communities can implement the nationally agreed upon New Dining Practice Standards which support individualized care and self-directed living versus traditional diagnosis-focused treatment.
