Summary

Enhancing the mealtime experience through changing the social and physical aspects of dining holds the potential to not only improve food intake among residents, but enhance their quality of life. The CHOICE+ Program is designed to support relationship-centred mealtimes in long-term care (LTC). This current study will pilot the CHOICE+ Program over the course of 18 months in three LTC homes with the support of a single external facilitator. The research team will collect data at mealtimes and from staff, residents and family members to determine what changes occurred and how this impacted the mealtime experience. The results of this study will provide insight into the efficacy of the CHOICE+ Program and if the program holds potential to improve mealtimes for residents in LTC through relationship-centered dining, as well as capacity building among those who live and work in the home to identify areas for improvement and work together to make change.
