| Annotation | Quality food and food service are integral to quality of life for older people in nursing homes. This article examines residents' perspectives about quality dining in nursing homes, and describes implications for practice. Tape-recorded interviews were completed with 20 Finnish nursing home residents who told stories about their food and food service, and described a "perfect" mealtime. The pattern, "fostering a quality dining experience" containing five themes derived from residents' perspectives, is discussed. The quality of nursing home food and food service was examined using Rantz et al's (1999) multidimensional theoretical model integrating consumer and provider perspectives. Empirical support for the model was provided by the themes and pattern generated from these interviews. (KJ/RH). |
