Waffle Lunch
submitted
Denise Reed of Kahl Home on September 5, 2000 |
Size: any size (have served up to 80 at a time)
Equipment: waffle irons
waffle mix toppings i.e. warm syrup, butter, fruit
Objective: create a more
social environment at meal time assist with increasing appetites
my residents love this activity/assist from dietary department
needed.
Description: Set up waffle
buffet in dining rooms. Cook waffles as the residents are being
served, this way the smell increases their appetites. We have
done this activity in our main dining area with our highest
functioning residents and in each of our floor dining areas
where we have a range of abilities. In each dining area there
was an increase in intake as well as socialization. Residents
and staff alike love this activity. Suggested meal is lunch
because there is more assist available and more time to prepare
an eye appealing table.
