OHCA Convention: How to Meet the Demanding Dining Needs of Boomers

Posted on by May 22, 2018

Senior Care Leaders:

What if you could …

• Satisfy residents in such a way that they’ll recommend their friends move in?
• Retain staff and make your community a better place to work?
• Boost customer satisfaction, resident rapport and employee morale while improving your competitive edge?

Meals are the highlight of the day for many seniors, so, if a senior living community improves their dining experience, residents are likelier to recommend it to their friends and family, attracting new move-ins. How to Meet the Demanding Dining Needs of Boomers explores how to create a hospitality program that will help your organization build strong community relationships, stay on the competitive edge, and exceed quality service standards.

Don’t miss How to Meet the Demanding Dining Needs of Boomers at Oregon Health Care Association (OHCA) Annual Convention & Trade Show, September 16, 9:30 am – 10:30 am.

In this session, you will:

• Explore the centrality of dining to community
• Identify the fundamentals of hospitality and the Boomer demands communities must embrace now
• Examine resources to keep your finger on the pulse of what’s trending with Boomers
• Recognize why serving meals is a team effort, and how being an integral part of a winning dining team benefits you
