Finger food menu applications are growing in healthcare foodservice today. Chicken of the Sea? and Davidson's Safest Choice? have partnered to deliver nutritious recipes that adapt to finger food menus.

Finger food menus have been broadly adapted throughout longterm care to address factors such as poor motor skills and reduced attention spans. According to the Alzheimer's Association, "More than 50% of residents in assisted living and nursing homes have some form of dementia or cognitive impairment, including Alzheimer's." (Alzheimer's Association. Dementia Care Practice Recommendations for Assisted Living Residencies and Nursing Homes.)

Each recipe in this collection features targeted benefits and affords flexibility and independence in dining. Certain residents are more likely to perform self-feeding as an Activity of Daily Living (ADL) if they can use their hands instead of requiring silverware. A finger food diet provides dignity. With careful menu planning, it can provide a high level of nutrition, thus contributing to resident well-being.

RECIPES SELECTED FOR THIS COLLECTION HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO:

Feature foods in small pieces that are easy to pick up

Offer sauces as a dip where applicable

Because diet manual standards vary, we recommend that you review these recipes against your own diet manual.

Adapt to eating without silverware
