What assurance is there that the meals are appropriate for a residents needs?
Park Plaza Nursing Home has a dietary services manager who directs the kitchen/dietary department of the facility. Our Dietary Services Managers is supervised jointly by the Administrator of the facility as well as a Registered Dietician. A Registered Dietician assesses the nutritional status of the residents, monitors the residents’ weights, makes dietary recommendations to the doctor for meals, snacks and supplements, assist the facility’s dietary services’ manager in menu selection, and participates in the residents’ care plans to adapt the nutrition to a resident’s personal needs. You can ask the administrator for the name and telephone number of the Registered Dietician for the specific facility to speak to him/her directly for individual questions.
