Nominations are officially open for the Senior Dining Association’s Awards & Recognition Program — a chance to honor those who are raising the bar for dining and hospitality in senior living. Every day, remarkable individuals and teams create memorable dining experiences, inspire their staff, and make a difference in residents’ lives. Now’s the time to give them the spotlight they deserve.
This session provides a practical and insightful approach to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI). Attendees will explore a step-by-step guide to implementing IDDSI within their communities, gain valuable insights from real-world experiences, and witness a live demonstration of techniques for preparing modified-texture meals. The focus will be on creating flavorful and visually appealing dishes that meet IDDSI standards. Participants will leave equipped with actionable strategies to elevate the dining experience for residents requiring mechanically altered diets.
Join us for the SYNERGY | Senior Dining & Hospitality Conference 2026, happening April 14-16 in beautiful Charlotte, NC!
Don't miss this incredible opportunity to connect with industry leaders, gain insights, and elevate your dining and hospitality operations.
