Food can be one of the most important aspects of running a hospital or senior care community. While bad food is often considered part of the hospital experience, delicious meals can help comfort patients, promote healing, and encourage positive reviews, making food quality a critical investment for every healthcare facility. Unfortunately, due to strict budgets and preexisting reputations for mediocre meals, foodservice in healthcare facilities can be challenging to navigate. With the correct systems in place, though, hospitals and senior care communities can impress any patient.
Delivering Delicious Food Safely
Like any foodservice provider, healthcare facility cooking has been impacted by rapidly changing food trends. For example, unlike the typical portrayal of hospitals bringing patients pre-selected food, most healthcare facilities have started offering room service that allows patients to select their meals from an expanding menu. Giving patients the ability to decide what they want to eat cuts down on food waste, reduces costs, and can make for a comfortable hospital stay. Not only can patients select their meals, but facilities are also doing their best to expand their menus and ensure an option for every diet. This includes incorporating more plant-based and cultural cuisines, so every patient is comfortable during their stay regardless of their diets or culinary preferences.
