Regulatory Compliance
Regulations and physical design within the household model...the stories from successful facilities speak for themselves...
• Services accommodate individual needs and preferences
• Dining areas accommodate different residents’ physical and social needs
• Staff are sufficient to provide palatable, attractive meals
• Meals served meet the nutritional needs of the residents
• Food is prepared by methods that conserve nutritive value, with distinctly
appetizing aroma and appearance
• Substitutes are offered of similar nutritive value to meet the taste needs of the
residents and the resident is offered substitutes when refusing foods from the
regular menu
• Residents receive meals at times most accepted by the community, without
lapses
• Foods are prepared, distributed and served under sanitary conditions
Dining in the household model assures that the kitchen remains the heart of each resident’s home.
