Our meal planning systems provide health care facilities with an effective menu development tool.  Residents, dietitians, food service personnel, and administrators all benefit from this innovative way of planning delicious, nutritious meals year round.

Basic ForeŽ believes that resident involvement in menu planning is essential in encouraging the elderly to enjoy eating.  Residents planning provides for increased meal consumption, thereby reducing nutrient deficiencies, and lowering food costs.

The Meal Card/Menu Board System is a "game" to be played by residents of long term care facilities.  The goal is to plan an actual week's menu for the entire facility.  The meals are designed to meet residents' meal preferences and nutritional needs, the dietary goals of the facility and the state guidelines.

Basic  ForeŽ provides you with a high quality game board and over 250 laminated meal cards to get your facility started on a fun way to plan meals.

Each meal card indicates the number of servings of meat, fruit & vegetables, milk and bread or cereals.  Each card also indicates if a food item is high in vitamin A and / or C.  Thus, residents are able to choose meals that add up to the appropriate number of servings from each food group, ensuring nutritional adequacy.  Menu planning made easy!

Basic ForeŽ and Health Care Facilities are a Winning Combination!
