Learn about the innovative dining possibilities that can be options for all types of
nursing homes regardless of where they are in the Culture Change process: Traditional,
Transformational or Neighborhood. Written by Linda Bump, former administrator of Bigfork
Communities in Bigfork, Minnesota and of Meadowlark Hills in Manhattan, Kansas,

relationships and community that will support Culture Change, all the way through the
systemic changes that need to take place to truly create Home, "Life Happens in the
Kitchen" is full of practical advice, specific ideas, recipes, and photos that will help
you on you way to providing a quality dining experience.
