Hey Care Partners, Thank you for joining us again today. I am so excited to share with you my friend and colleague Toni Fisk, who specializes in taking challenging dining problems and changing them into reasonable solutions to maintain adequate hydration and calorie intake. We will discuss great mealtime habits and show the importance of "knowing your resident"! She teaches with experiential training, so dining help can really understand the importance of using her better techniques. Stay on until the end so you can review food safety and see why finger foods are OK as long as calories are going in. Toni also shared about MyPlate for Older Adults, identifying the unique needs of people ages 60+, and how to manage nutrition for PLwD using this tool. https://www.myplate.gov/life-stages/o... Toni Fisk is the published author of the 2021 Amazon #1 Bestseller "#dinewithdignity: Unlocking the Mystery of Dementia and Dining,” in addition to several professional publications. She has been engaged in the food & hospitality industry for over 35 years, with her professional career encompassing Walt Disney World/EPCOT Center and Marriott Hotels before transitioning to healthcare and senior living.
