My Plate Of Love For Seniors
Food is an integral part of Epoch homes. The focus is on evidence-based approaches and practices, especially whilst catering to our residents with dementia. Our key tools to cater to the elder with dementia are ‘Person-Centered Nutritional Care’, taking care of their likes and dislikes, food fortification, and soft diets.
Also, setting of tableware as per dementia management, such as color contrast, ready plated meal choices, are few examples which help me to serve our residents healthy and happy meals through the day, across our homes.”, says Jagdish Rewar, Food, and Beverage Manager, Epoch Elder Care.
Through his blog, Jagdish has conveyed his thoughts on serving our elderly residents as geriatric dietitians. Providing nutritional meals orally or through Ryle’s tube are also parts of his responsibilities that he writes on.
Jagdish also writes about how celebrations and festivals are an integral part of Epoch homes, for which he prepares special, traditional cuisines along with his team.
Activities and engagement through these activities are crucial for our residents with dementia for whom he arranges kitchen activities. These kitchen activities also help our residents with their ADLs (Assisted Daily Living).
