Characteristics of dementia are demonstrated and the direct correlation of how it relates to the socialization and the action of eating will be shared. Our overall mission is to provide socialization, increased food consumption, improved hydration, and dignified dining. We must always focus on persons with dementia completing daily activities and tasks for themselves, for as long as they can. We will segue into the service standards and environmental aspects of the physical dining space. We will discuss best practice recommendations for the standard dining model and what considerations/actions should be undertaken to improve the dining experience for persons living with dementia.
