Sometimes, nursing homes develop exceptional programs, but then they try to keep the ideas to themselves. To some degree, this makes sense since nursing homes compete for resident admissions.

However, I believe we all need to work together and share our ideas. This allows us to provide the highest quality of life for nursing home residents everywhere. That’s why I’m always thrilled when you tell me about unique programs at your facilities.

No matter where I go, it seems like the most common complaint in nursing homes involves the food. Understandably, making meals that appeal to every resident remains a challenging task.

For one thing, nursing home residents come from such a wide variety of backgrounds that affect their meal preferences. This includes their ethnic heritage and the traditions of individual families.

Then you need to consider the personal likes and dislikes of each resident. This is reflected in something I see so often when I read notes from resident council meetings. One person complains that the food has too much seasoning, while another resident describes the food as bland.
