Meals are about enjoyment, company and familiar tastes as well as practical support.
Mealtimes involve appetite, taste, company and support. Talk about what the person enjoys and what makes eating comfortable for them.
A practical way to begin
General menu information cannot establish an individual dietary plan. Allergies, prescribed diets and swallowing concerns should be discussed with the appropriate team and professionals.
Your discussion checklist
- Ask how choices are offered
- Explain likes and dislikes
- Discuss preferred company or quieter meals
- Ask who assesses help needed with eating
Before you take the next step
Ask how preferences will be kept current and who should hear about a concern. Avoid relying on a sample menu as a promise of a particular meal on a particular day.
