What regulations must CILA facilities follow regarding food services?

CILA facilities are required to comply with health and nutrition guidelines to ensure that residents receive safe and nutritious meals. This is integral to supporting the overall health and well-being of individuals living in these settings, particularly for those with specific dietary needs or restrictions. Adhering to these guidelines helps prevent foodborne illnesses and ensures balanced nutrition, which is essential for the physical and mental health of residents.

By following established health and nutrition standards, CILA facilities can better cater to the diverse needs of their residents, promoting a positive living environment and fostering healthy eating habits. This ensures that the food service practices align with regulatory expectations, which are designed to protect the welfare of individuals receiving care.
