Eating nutritious meals is an important and basic necessity for maintaining physical and emotional health. Some residents cannot feed themselves due to weakness, paralysis and other physical limitations and will need assistance at mealtime. This program presents techniques of serving a meal to both those who can eat independently, and those who require assistance. It includes ensuring that the correct meal is being served, and preparing an environment to make mealtime a pleasant experience.
