Why Kind Dining® Training?

Because it Pays!

"Our training provides a measurable return on your investment in 4 ways."

Boost your competitive edge.  Increase occupancy and retention rates as your residents experience higher service quality. 

Research indicates the more residents enjoy their dining experience in your community, the higher they rate their overall satisfaction with living there. 

Happy dining equals happy residents equals a more successful senior care community.

Happy residents refer their friends. Happy residents don’t move out. Happy residents are healthier and experience greater overall well-being.

Happy residents provide positive feedback to your staff, which fosters job satisfaction among your team. 

No worries about complying with person-centered or directed care in state and federal dining guidelines. 

Your servers gain confidence in demonstrating serving skills consistent with new quality initiatives. 

Each module is uniquely designed to improve key skills and shape behaviors that residents, providers, and surveyors value.

Gain a higher return on each trained server.  Servers are powerful company assets

Emotional Intelligence is at the root of Kind Dining® training. We see our work as showing people life skills and attitudes.

In this current economic climate, retention rates of residents and employees are crucial.

The financial loss of one resident moving out can be over $20,000, and turning over one server averages $5,000.  In this climate, workers want to keep jobs where they can contribute and feel valued in their work. 

Offering education and training that emphasizes the value of the server’s role benefits all stakeholders.

Reduce the risk and expense of a food-borne illness outbreak. 

In a comfortable learning style, we address specific knowledge, skills, and learned behaviors to improve hygienic and infection control practices that reduce outbreaks.

Prevention through ongoing education is key and far less expensive than the cost of managing an outbreak.

DiningRD is a leading provider of consulting dietitian services and food service software in post-acute care and senior living.
