According to a report from NAFEM, the future of hospital food is rapidly changing, and it’s not even just because of COVID-19. These are factors that were already in place and creating a rapidly changing environment for hospitals.
For example, by 2029, more than 1 in 5 Americans will be over the age of 65. This is a generation that is used to dining out and enjoying food experiences at restaurants. That means the primary patient base is going to expect higher quality food, familiar meals, and maybe even some new experiences.
According to one report, it costs $6.41 per day to feed someone living in a senior facility. This means budgeting for future patient meals so that you can provide quality. Another report shows that medically tailored food resulted in fewer hospital visits. It’s even more important to tailor meals to patient needs once they are in a medical facility.
