Nursing Home Food

When will nursing homes realize that food is love? They need to hire people who love to cook and have great cooking skills. They need to have a larger food budget. Not extravagant, just a little more money, time and energy into providing what people actually want to eat and need for nutrition and that sense of being loved.
Examples:
If you serve soup, many people like a few crackers in their soup, plain saltines work. Plus the thicker substance is more easily kept on the spoon. Home cooked soup lets you cook the vegetables until they are soft and when it is pureed for those who need puree they will have great flavor and nourishment.
Rolls should be allowed to be served at room temperature, keeping them warm means they dry out and become hard. Dentured and edentulous people need soft bread and rolls.
Pureed food should be taught to all preparers to be food with a tiny bit of liquid and a tiny bit of gel, instead of a tiny bit of food and lots of water and gel which results in a glob of thick, sticky glue on their plate. I would not be able to force myself to eat it unless I was literally starving to death and that was my only option to preserve my life and even then I would probably say, let me die.
I love dessert. Who doesn't? Usually the very last taste sense we have before we die is for sweet. Sheet cake is easy to make for a bunch of people and icecream on top makes it easy for anyone to eat, even pureed. Mix up the icecream in the bowl with the cake, voila, pureed!
Someday, we are going to be old and in nursing homes. Is this how we want to eat when our time comes? Lets start caring about what our relatives and friends are eating in nursing homes now so when our time comes we've bettered the world and bettered nursing home food. Let's get real chefs to lead our kitchen help and teach them how to make wonderful tasting food that will nourish not only their bodies but their souls and let them know we love them. Because food is love.
Incase you are wondering, I have just dealt with atrocious food in the nursing home and they think, I am too emotional about her diet.
They don't know the half of it!
