Also, some states have specific requirements that would in many instances

supercede the Feds. GA has state " interpretations. " The attached Menu

Form for Nutritional Adequacy was developed based on the old FGP and the

GA

Interpretations. But, be sure to check around your state for any state

regulations and interpretations. The bottom line is that your menus need

to

meet those requirements and Nutritional Adequacy for the age group of

residents in your facility (RDIs for Geriatrics). Hope this helps.

CMS regulates Nursing Home meals to a certain extent. Time between last

meal and next meal. The Feds also are involved with Senior meal sights. As

for meals it is expected that you will provide adequate protein etc based

on

the RDIs for the age range you are serving. Does this help?
