Important MealCard Update- Action May be Required
If your community prints MealCards, please review your resident profiles in MealCard.
Beginning this week, residents without a documented diet order — including those on a Regular diet — will not have menu items appear on printed MealCards.
If your community prints MealCards:
- • Verify every resident has a documented diet order under both the Diet and Diet Texture tabs.
- • Don’t forget to include residents on a Regular diet or Regular texture.
Don’t print MealCards? You can still benefit from a complete MealCard profile – including diet orders, texture modifications, allergies, dining preferences, adaptive dining needs, and other resident information — which helps your team deliver safe, accurate, and personalized dining experiences. Explore our extensive rosters and reports and see how MealCard profiles integrate with TableSide to support your dining operations. No matter your service style, we’re here to help you deliver exceptional hospitality to every resident.
Need assistance? Our Support Team is happy to help. You can also join one of our upcoming MealCard training sessions to learn best practices and get the most from MealCard.
Additional MealCard Enhancements
Fortified Food Indicator: Quickly identify fortified foods with a new indicator, plus a dedicated Fortified Food Roster Report for easier tracking and reporting.
