Dining and Food in the Household Model

An Action Pact, Inc. intensive workshop in the "Change to Household Series"

This Sunday through Thursday Intensive Workshop Experience focuses on the Dietary aspects of the Household Model. It is specifically designed and developed for participants from organizations who are seriously exploring and/or designing and developing the Household Model. It is also of great benefit to those who are already physically in a household model but want to strengthen the dining services to parallel food choices we experience at home. If you are a Dietary Manager, a Dietitian, a Dietary consultant working with a household client, an Administrator or CEO rethinking your organizational structure, or an architectural firm designing Households, this workshop is for you. This workshop has been submitted for continuing education with prior approval for Registered Dietitians, Dietetic Technicians and Certified Dietary Managers.

The session will be held at the Action Pact offices in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We will have the opportunity to enjoy food, discuss food, and design for food as a meaningful and pleasurable daily experience for elders. Visit and study with residents and staff at area nursing homes converting to the household model. Learn behind the scenes specifics from the dietary staff. We will study processes and systems as well as learning how to put the kitchen back into the center of home life.
