The Restorative Dining program is intended for residents who eat independently but need a high degree of assistance or supervision. In developing a Restorative Dining program, a licensed Restorative Nurse develops the program in collaboration with licensed therapists. For a Restorative Dining program to be effective, a thorough assessment of the dining environment, assistance needs for each resident, seating arrangements, food acceptance, table height, positioning needs, and adaptive devices must be completed by the interdisciplinary team. Once this process is complete, the Restorative Dining program can be initiated. Remember, needs and situations change so the process of assessing restorative needs must be ongoing if the program is to be effective. This program was developed to assist you the caregiver in providing quality care to your residents with improving their overall outcomes and independence.

•Describe the concept of restorative dining
•Identify specific interventions to encourage resident independence with dining
•Describe the role of a dining coordinator
•Describe the process of assessing self-performance with dining
