Question 1

What makes the chef or dining program at Goodwill Foundation exceptional? What kind of menu can assisted living residents expect?

Accepted Answer

The ability to choose daily meals offers assisted living residents autonomy, and it adds to the appeal of restaurant-style dining.

“Navion communities pass out menus at breakfast or lunch so that residents can choose what they want to eat the following day,” says Wright.

And, when residents enter the dining room, staff members are ready to serve their pre-chosen plates.

Menus typically include a variety of options that appeal to all tastes and dietary preferences. Generally, lunch will be the heaviest meal of the day, while dinner will have lighter options for residents who don’t want to eat something more substantial before bed.

The breakfast menu of an assisted living facility may offer these options:

A traditional “full breakfast” of eggs, toast, and bacon
A lighter option, like yogurt with berries
A variety of whole-grain cereals
Coffee, orange juice, or skim milk
A lunch menu may include the following:

A hearty option, like beef stroganoff with vegetables
 quick and classic

Question 2

What programs or activities does Goodwill Foundation offer to enrich residents' well-being?

Accepted Answer

One-on-One Activities 
Some residents might not be able to participate in group activities because they can’t leave their rooms. You may also have residents who would prefer to do things one-on-one because they find groups too overwhelming.

Finding ways to engage residents individually is just as important as creating group activities.

For some older adults, simply being with them and spending time with them might be all they want or need. Just sitting quietly and reading or doing a hobby can provide companionship and combat loneliness.

Other residents might be up for—and eager to have—a chat. You can talk to them about their loved ones, ask them to tell you stories from “the good old days,” or get their thoughts on current events.
If you have a resident who isn’t much for small talk but wants something purposeful to think about how to make group activities work for just one person..
