Culture Change Food Concepts

This is my first attempt at blogging. I guess I will welcome myself. I feel like I am walking around in a room where no one knows me. Pretty soon I figure I will be some center of attention. Perhaps because I have spilled something on my shirt, or because I have some interesting thoughts to share about culture change with regards to food in a nursing home setting. See, I already have your interest and there is nothing spilled on my shirt.



I direct the food service at a 180 bed nursing home in East Providence RI. I have been here for almost 20 years. When I first heard of the culture change initiative it caught my attention like a bat to the back of my head. I said what a great idea. Treat residents like they would be treated at home. Outstanding concept. Ideas started flowing like water. Now all I had to do was put these concepts into motion. I had to get others to agree. In short I had to become a salesperson for culture change.The beauty part of being a salesperson for culture change is the inventory is endless, the cost can be minimal, and you recruit your own sales team from your existing staff. At no extra charge.
