A skilled nursing menu has to satisfy residents, the diet orders on the floor, the budget and the surveyor. Ours are written by registered dietitians who work in the facilities they write for. The standard skilled nursing menu is a four-week cycle, written each quarter so the season's menu makes the most of fresh ingredients, and every diet on it comes with recipes and its own nutritional analysis.
Choose the standard menu as written, or ask for a custom menu built around your residents, your kitchen and the diets you serve.

How you receive it
Menus are available online through MenuCentral™, our online menu platform, which puts the current cycle, recipes and daily cook's menus in one place for your kitchen. We can also provide traditional paper menus, shipped directly to your facility for an additional cost.
MenuCentral in a skilled nursing kitchen
Recipes are written for 50 servings and scale to your census. The cook's menu carries the diets your facility serves: regular, IDDSI textures from Level 7 Easy to Chew to Level 4 Pureed, consistent carbohydrate, renal, small and large portions and plant-based, plus columns your facility adds, such as 2 g sodium. Title 22 checks run as the menu is planned, and your RD approves each cycle in the app.

IDDSI
Every menu we write is fully compliant with the IDDSI Framework 2.2. Texture-modified diets are written and labelled by IDDSI level, with drinks by IDDSI thickness level, so the diet order, the menu, the recipe and the tray card all use the same language. More about our IDDSI menus.
