Why Dining & Nutrition

Safe Meals. Every Resident. Every Time.

Therapeutic diets, food allergies, and dining preferences — all managed in ALF Apps and available to kitchen staff at every meal service.

Therapeutic Diet Management

Track regular, low sodium, diabetic, mechanical soft, pureed, and fluid restriction diets. Diet orders link directly from physician orders — no manual re-entry needed.

Food Allergy Safety

Food allergies documented in the resident profile are automatically flagged in the dining module. Kitchen staff see allergy alerts before every meal service.

Nutritional Supplements

Track nutritional supplements, protein shakes, and between-meal snacks. Document supplement administration and monitor weight trends to assess nutritional status.

Simple Workflow

From Diet Order to Safe Meal Service

01

Diet Order from Physician

Physician creates a diet order in ALF Apps. The order automatically appears in the dining module — no manual re-entry for kitchen or nursing staff.

02

Allergy Cross-Check

Food allergies from the resident profile are automatically flagged in the dining module. Any resident with a food allergy is highlighted on every meal service sheet.

03

Generate Kitchen Sheet

Before each meal service print or display the kitchen meal sheet. Every resident listed with their diet order, texture, allergies, and supplements for that meal.

04

Document & Monitor

Document supplement administration and meal intake observations. Weight trend monitoring flags residents at nutritional risk for dietary review.
