The following are the
State Mandated Nutritional Requirements
for Each Meal
(these values represent 1/3 of the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended daily allowances for an older adult)
All of these requirements must be met and then fit into a meal that is set up to have a vegetable based appetizer (relish tray, soup, salad, etc.), a protein serving, a starch serving(potatoes, noodles, rice, etc.), another vegetable serving, a bread serving, a fruit serving, and a milk serving.
A great deal of effort is made to ensure that the meals served each day fall within these guidelines, are varied, and are still pleasing to our clientelle. We submit our proposed monthly meal plan each month for review, comment and approval by a registered dietitian.
