Most people come into long-term care wanting to stay connected to their family, friends, and community. As a result, long-term care organizations that strive to be "person-centered" must ensure that staff is well-connected to residents and their family members. These strong connections nurture relationships between staff and residents, help staff get to know residents as unique individuals, and help staff understand the choices and preferences most important to residents.
Long-term care communities can encourage these connections by including family members as part of the care team at the same time they are working to foster new relationships between residents and staff. Mealtimes offer the perfect opportunity to build upon all of these relationships.
Culture change research continues to uncover the centrality of dining to building community. Still, many long-term care organizations struggle to create dining experiences elders crave and don't take full advantage of the role that dining can play in establishing a person-centered and person-directed culture.
