STEP 3: IMPLEMENT NEW STAFFING STRATEGIES
Analyze your options for reorganizing staff to efficiently deliver feeding assistance both during and between meals and maximize benefits for residents.
Staffing challenges await nursing homes at mealtimes
Start with what you know, then consider your options
Use our nutrition software program
Encourage all residents to eat in the dining room
Use other staff members and volunteers to help at mealtimes
Target first those residents responsive to the mealtime intervention
Beef up your between- meal snack program first
Use more restrictive criteria to target residents for feeding assistance
