Did You Know?
The specification on the Oven Roasted Potato Medley from Lamb Weston allows for some changes to the blend ratios to accommodate years of differing rose and purple potato yields. Lamb Weston has seen strong yields for both rose and purple varieties and, consequently, they will be raising the proportions of these varieties in the medley. You will likely notice more purple and rose dices and fewer yellow ones in the product by April.

SENIOR LIVING
Facility Assessments Staff Competencies The recent Requirements of Participation revision by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) included many substantial changes. One of the most recent of these changes to be implemented was the need for a Facility Assessment with Staff Competencies.
Erika Kramer, LNHA Martin Bros. Healthcare Market Developer
The purpose of the Facility Assessment is to have a document that demonstrates that you know your community, your residents and your needs. The assessment is also meant to certify that you have the equipment, resources and training to meet those needs. Once again, CMS is mandating that you prove you are doing things right. A focus for the surveyors as they come in and interpret these regulations will be on whether or not a community has sufficient staffing as well as ensuring that staff are competent to provide the care that the community and its residents need.
Surveyors will be watching and asking questions to make sure staff know correct answers and do the right thing. They will then be focusing on documentation if there is a wrong answer. One thing to consider when determining if you are meeting staff competencies is if and how you are proving that you are training your staff and continuing to educate them. Some things to consider implementing include:
As cited in the State Operations Manual Appendix PP for Phase 2 F-Tag Revisions and Related Issues: 4 Determination of Staff Competencies As required under §483.70(e) (F838), the facility’s assessment must include an evaluation of staff competencies that are necessary to provide the level and types of care needed for the resident population. The facility must have a process for evaluating these competencies.
1) 2) 3)
Documenting the different competencies you are training your staff on.
4) 5)
Proof of what your training and education include.
Documenting the dates that your staff pass your competencies. Documenting what dates you will be reeducating your staff if they don’t pass your competencies. Ongoing training to help staff succeed during surveyors’ observations and questioning.
Anything that you can do to benefit your Facility Assessment will help during surveys as well as help your facility provide the best care to your residents.
Food & Nutrition Services Competencies Worksheet A GREAT RESOURCE TO HELP WITH FACILITY ASSESSMENT! Print one per employee and have a checklist of competencies that can be individually checked off and dated. This document can demonstrate your staff competencies and also includes resources for each competency that can be used for further education.
This worksheet is available on www.MartinsMart.com under the Tools tab as part of the Dietary 101 Orientation Kit.

SENIOR LIVING
Senior living communities are facing many challenges, from staffing shortages to decreasing reimbursements from government programs. Therefore, communities continue to look for ways to increase revenue and become more profitable. One way to do this is to look into generating added revenue by creating additional types of dining programs. Senior living communities have a large advantage when starting new dining programs, because many of the necessities are already in place. For restaurants starting out, they have several expenses that need to be paid in order to get off the ground. These expenses include securing a property, purchasing large equipment and hiring staff, for example. Senior living communities, however, are different. They can utilize things like the space, equipment and staff they already have in place to implement additional dining programs without incurring large expenses.
Revenue Generating Dining Program Ideas: Employee Meal Program: Several locations may already have an employee meal program, but now is your opportunity to revisit what that program looks like and how successful it is. Data has shown that increasing the quality and offerings of employee meal programs has added staff satisfaction while bringing in additional revenue for the location. Ideas like “Taco Tuesday” and “Pizza by the Slice” can keep staff from leaving your campus and encourage them to spend money inside your community rather than at other establishments close by.

Guest Meal Program: Dining is an essential piece to the marketing of a community, and developing a guest meal program that encourages others to have a meal while visiting the community is an excellent way to capitalize on it while generating additional revenue. Catering: Catering gives a location the opportunity
to gain exposure outside the building. Events to look to when starting with catering include funerals, community gatherings, graduations and weddings. Another option is to cater towards other businesses close to your building with a lunch menu. Takeout, online ordering and meal delivery are all things you could include to make catering extremely successful for your community.
Bistros & Pubs: One of the hottest topics in senior
living right now is bistro options, which help bring unique restaurant dining atmospheres to your community. Pubs can give an additional social vibe to your community and provide a place to serve trendy appetizers, small entrees and even alcoholic beverages.
Retail Shops & Freezer Meals: Many communities
have a retail area, which is a great space to incorporate a “grab and go” dining opportunity. Trendy packaging with convenient food options can allow you to cater to people on the go. Another popular option is to have frozen meal options available to capitalize on residents looking for convenient meals to serve on their own, at family events and in their apartments.
Together, these options along with other ideas can help you increase the dining experiences offered at your community while providing additional sources of income. The key is take one step at a time and to always be evaluating what programs are a good fit for your location and what changes could be made to make them better.
