Mealtime is more than nutrition — it is comfort, dignity, safety, and connection.

Join Morris, a resident in long-term care and Ryan, a Personal Support Worker as they enjoy lunch together and practice how to set up a pleasant and safe experience. Practice how to begin and end a meal experience. Try out different seating arrangements, food types, and placement of eating utensils. Be aware of spoon-feeding techniques, how to encourage independence, and strategies to help with swallowing food. Learn about PACER as a quick way to remember what to do at mealtimes.
