Slide 6: Menu Planning Essentials

• Nutritional needs: Ensure meals meet residents’ dietary requirements and preferences (Source: Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 2022).
• Budgetary constraints: Maintain cost-effectiveness without compromising quality (Source: American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living, 2021).
