Improving the Dining Experience

Featuring Maggie Beer with:
Polly Whitworth, Dementia Centre Consultant, HammondCare

Module Description:
Our dining experience is made up of more than just the food we eat. The sights, smells, sounds, environment and company we keep all have an impact on our dining pleasure.

This module explores ways to provide the best dining experience for your residents by encouraging you to put yourself in their shoes. What are some of your personal preferences that make for a great dining experience? Making some simple changes can have a great impact.

  • We discuss the importance of the whole dining experience to a resident’s enjoyment of their meal
  • We explore ways to inspire your team to deliver the best dining experience for their residents
  • And we share tips on how to create a dining atmosphere that encourages a person’s appetite and supports their independence
