Making Healthier Choices

In an effort to promote health and wellness with our residents, our Food Services Department has been very busy implementing a new Wellness Program. We have made healthy strides with our menus by incorporating more whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables daily. In helping the residents understand the importance of healthy living, we started a monthly bulletin board
contest to tie in nutrition education and physical activity themes. The clients are excited to participate by designing a bulletin board that will be posted in the cafeteria for all staff and peers to see. We rolled out this program in February and received several artistic
poster entries. The clients are excited about continuing with this project and also having a part in their healthy menu selection.
