Register for the Dietary Manager Prep Exam

The process of documenting resident cares has been a journey filled with many potholes, roundabouts and crossroads. Culture changes terms of endearment, Resident Centered or Person Directed Cares, that have yet to become a reality in the institutionalized, traditional medical model of long term care facilities. Lucky for our residents we have kept on the path of continuous progress, never arriving at a dead end, but arriving at numerous crossroads. I will be offering a two part series via Zoom on how to get the “I” into your resident’s nutritional plan of care. Sign up below
