Every resident has a preplanned diet regimen
every day that strictly regulates their calorie intake. This is done to help
regulate to make sure they do not get overweight. Staff at the home prepare and
serve enough for approximately five people. The dinner includes a food item
from each of the food groups that included a meat, fruit, vegetable, grain,
dairy, and a fat. Some of the residents have special food requirements in their
diet and that is included in the calorie control plan. For example, some residents
need low fat foods, fewer carbohydrates, gluten free, added salt, lower
concentrated sugars, or the food maybe need to be served cut into bite size
pieces so they will not choke. The residents are allowed treats such as a soda,
but they are limited to only one per day. Later in the evening, just before
bedtime, they are given a snack if they would like one. The snack
can include cookies or chips and they are allowed to take turns one-by-one and
walk to a nearby store and buy the snack if a facility worker is with them.
