Long-Term Care Food Services Orientation

Do you have dietary team members who are new to long-term care? Are you looking for interactive courses to include in annual training to help support your dietary team, whether they’re new or experienced?

Equip team members for the safe support of residents during snack and mealtimes through our eLearning series, Long-Term Care Food Services Orientation. 

Co-designed with the Ontario Seniors Nutrition & Advocacy Committee (OSNAC) and the Ontario CLRI at the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging, this series supports dietary team members with an introduction to food services teams, resident dining experience, and key dietary terms. It also explores diet reports, food textures and fluid consistencies, and the foundational principles of safe nutrition and hydration.
