Residents\u2019 expectations are higher, largely because of the influx of baby boomers seeking senior care.<\/p>\n<p>Boomers\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.seniorliving.org\/life\/baby-boomers\/\">about 76 million strong<\/a>\u2014value the ability to make choices, including <a href=\"http:\/\/seniorhousingnews.com\/2015\/08\/10\/a-new-wave-of-hospitality-innovations-hits-senior-living\/\">food and dining options<\/a> in senior living. As they did when living at home, they want to keep choosing what to eat, when to eat and where to eat.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"a couple examines menus at a table\" data-align=\"right\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"5726ab22-1576-47f1-afd4-564027ad412f\" src=\"https:\/\/gfs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Dining-Choices-2-IC-Getty1129803549-370x370-2.jpg\" \/>Regulations set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) address the desire for choice. Skilled nursing centers are required to provide choices and honor residents\u2019 individual preferences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>FTag 800 (F800) states: The facility must provide each resident with a nourishing, palatable, well-balanced diet that meets his or her daily nutritional and special dietary needs, taking into consideration the preferences of each resident.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>FTag 806 (F806) states: Each resident receives, and the facility provides &#8211; Food that accommodates resident allergies, intolerances and preferences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Coupling the demand for choice with the CMS regulations, operators must think beyond the traditional tray-line service model with non-select cycle menus. By providing residents the ability to choose what, when and where to eat, operators can position themselves to improve person-centered care and attract potential residents seeking a positive dining experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Keeping a database of residents\u2019 diet orders, allergies, preferences and dislikes can be a challenge for operators. With the Resident Management modules of Cycle Menu Management (CMM), operators can organize resident information all in one place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Taking it further, the Digital Choice Dining module (formerly Tableside Dining) gives operators the flexibility to take residents\u2019 meal orders on a tablet at meal time or up to 7 days in advance. This module also gives servers instant access to nutrition and allergen information on menu items, creating a more transparent dining experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the Digital Choice Dining module, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.gfs.com\/experience\/resources\/cmm.html\">CMM page<\/a> on Gordon Experience.
