Long-term care menus

Fully IDDSI 2.2 compliant cycle menus with recipes, HACCP instructions and nutritional analysis, written by dietitians for your facility type, delivered seasonally and available to facilities nationwide.

A long-term care menu has to satisfy residents, the diet orders on the floor, the budget and the surveyor. Ours are written by dietitians who work in the facilities they write for. We offer a variety of specialized menus, and custom menus are available. Menus are delivered seasonally to make the most of fresh ingredients, and every diet comes with recipes, HACCP instructions, allergen alerts and a nutritional analysis adjusted to your community size. Our menus are available to facilities nationwide.

Fully IDDSI 2.2 compliant

Every menu we write is fully compliant with the IDDSI Framework 2.2. Texture-modified diets are written and labelled by IDDSI level, Level 7 Easy to Chew, Level 6 Soft & Bite-Sized, Level 5 Minced & Moist and Level 4 Pureed, with drinks by IDDSI thickness level, so the diet order, the menu, the recipe and the tray card all use the same language. We do not use the older texture terms.
