This document discusses person-centered dining in long-term care facilities. It emphasizes treating residents with dignity and respect by focusing on their individual preferences, histories, and purpose. Key aspects of person-centered dining include food choices, presentation, flexible meal times, and restaurant-style service. Dining should make residents feel at home rather than institutional. Practices like serving food on plates instead of trays and staff sitting with residents while assisting with meals promote independence and dignity over tasks and schedules. The goal is for residents to have control and enjoyment through the dining experience.
