The recent COVID-19 pandemic reinforces the importance of mealtimes in residential care to support both the nutritional health and overall well-being of residents. This session will explore the challenges of residential dining during a pandemic and identify ways to better support relationship-centered dining.
After this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify how isolation procedures during an outbreak can impact nutritional health;
- Distinguish between person- and relationship-centred dining and task-focused dining in residential care; and
- Select evidence-based interventions to support relationship-centred dining in residential care settings both during an outbreak and normal procedures
