‘Institutional’ Environments (Henkusens, Keller, Dupuis, & Schindel Martin, in press)
‘Systemizing the meal’
• Lack of control, choice
When eat, where, with whom, what
• Individual preferences are lost with the need to provide for the ‘many’
• Regulations, policies over-ride what the resident wants
Adjusting to dining with others
Task focused vs. relational care

What is ‘Relational’ Dining?
Social, psychological and nutritional needs are met
