Linda Handy and Wayne Toczek communicate
their passion for quality dining services in long term care and at the same time provides valuable and compelling information. I have never before gleaned such beneficial facts and concepts presented in such an entertaining narrative. I liked this book, because it tells of the yings and yangs of life in nursing homes in America. Quality is often in the eye of the beholder,
but there are quality measures that, if understood and implemented, can make the difference.
In long term care setting, the Army marches on its stomach and spicing up the dining experience for seniors is a compelling priority. Mrs. Handy s and Mr. Toczek s insights provide meaningful sensitivity to that effort. This is the book I have been looking for! It is so hard to find guidance on safe food handling for our skilled nursing programs. [This] book will be an excellent guide to help us move person centered care forward in the dietary department. It is practical and filled with many useful and important reference materials. I cannot wait to give this to my dietary staff. Dietary professionals will gain one hundred years of survey experience reading this entertaining (but all too true) look at the survey process. Each time I read it, I discover another area where we can improve our care of the vulnerable clients in healthcare settings. This book will become part of our HMC orientation of our dietitian consultants. Full of valuable information (and humor!) for the dietitian, food service director and administrator
in any long term care facility. I would definitely recommend this as an essential guide for RD s and FSD s! This is my new handbook! [The writers ] vast array of experience on both sides of the equation allows the reader a rare opportunity to understand the process first hand, benefiting from years of experience without having to live it. Handy and Toczek make quite a team. A thought-provoking CE guaranteed to transform your view of food safety and the survey process! Great snap shot of the survey process from all perspectives. It is a must have for not only for dining services, but the whole campus.
