Do you have dietary team members without prior long-term care education or experience? Are you looking for interactive courses to include in annual training? Equip team members for the safe support of residents during snack and mealtimes through our new eLearning series, Long-Term Care Food Services Orientation!
Co-designed with the Ontario Seniors Nutrition & Advocacy Committee (OSNAC) and the Ontario CLRI at the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging, this series provides dietary team members with an introduction to the food services team, the resident dining experience, and key dietary terms. It also explores diet reports, food textures, and fluid consistencies.
The Long-Term Care Food Services Orientation series was developed with input from subject matter experts and experienced team members sharing common challenges that new team members face. The courses are grounded in best practices for food services and adult learning and feature audio narration, interactive learning activities, videos, case scenarios, and additional resources for further learning.
The orientation series is available at no cost, and each course takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. The courses are also available on Surge Learning.
