This seems to be at odds with the new recommendations. how can I clarify this? we used to provide waivers for individuals that refused the recommended mechanically altered/thickened liquid diets, but then a couple years ago, we received documentation that indicated that in NY state, those waivers were meaningless for the facility, and that we were not allowed to provide residents with their preferred texture, despite signed waivers by the resident and/or family.

As software providers, we are keen to help provide tools to professionals to help with their goals of meeting the New Dining Practice Standards. Our latest development is focussing on bringing mobile selective menus (via iPad or other tablet) right to point of service for residents and patients...great start so far!

While in a few cases restriction is necessary most of the time I find they do eat better if diet is liberalized. We have a upward battle educating staff and physicians on why this is so important!

We get mentally locked into some of the practices that we were trained in and sometimes are hard to let go of, other disciplines have a very difficult time still with the use of the liberalized diets. The more exposure the better. Linda, Great concept to remind all of us what the standards should be.
