Nebraska Assisted Living Food & Nutrition Regulations
A Discussion about diabetes…
NCS/RCS, NSA, Low sugar
There is no evidence to support prescribing diets such as "no concentrated sweets“ or "no sugar added" for older adults living in health care communities, and these restricted diets are no longer considered appropriate.
Most experts agree that using medication rather than dietary changes to control blood glucose, blood lipid levels, and blood pressure can enhance the joy of eating and reduce the risk of malnutrition for older adults in health care communities.

J Am Diet Assoc. 2010.08.022

Current Recommendations
Elderly nursing home residents with diabetes can receive a regular diet that is consistent in the amount and timing of carbohydrates, along with proper medication to control blood glucose levels.
The nutrition care plan should include education about appropriate food choices for managing diabetes.
Position of the American Dietetic Association: Individualized Nutrition Approaches for Older Adults in Health Care Communities.
J Am Diet Assoc. 2010.08.022
The Controlled Carbohydrate Diet (CCHO)or Consistent Carbohydrate Diet
• Limits the amount of carbohydrate provided during meals and snacks
•Follows a regular diet as closely as possible
•Has little or no restrictions which is especially important in the elderly
The Controlled Carbohydrate Diet Continued
•Emphasizes the total amount of carbohydrates rather than the source
• Is prescribed for those with diabetes to aid in maintaining normal blood sugar levels
11
The Controlled Carbohydrate Diet and the Elderly in Long‐Term Care
•The main goal is to encourage the elderly to eat.
•Diets that restrict food choices may result in weight loss, poor nutrition and poor quality of life.

The Food Code: What’s it all about?
13
What is the FDA Food Code?
•Safeguard public health• reference guide for the food industry•Model for FDA to promote uniform implementation of national food regulatory policy among several thousand food establishments
•a model for state and local food statutes, regulations, and ordinances as well as licensing, inspection, and enforcement activities
•Establishes standards for management and personnel, food operations and equipment and facilities
FDA Food Code
•Updated every 4 years•Constantly evolving as science and policy change
•States choose when they adopt•2013 Food Code released inNovember 2013
•NE follows 2009 code

Key aspects of NE Food Code
•Person In Charge (PIC)‐Proper Reporting & Demonstration of Knowledge
•Cold Holding 41°F or less
•Hot Holding at 135°F or greater
NE Food Code
Key aspects of NE Food Code (cont.)•No bare hand food contact of RTE foods for highly susceptible population
•Proper Cooling Time and Temperatures of Cooked Foods (TCS)
•Food & Preparation for Highly Susceptible Populations
15
Symptom Reporting to PIC
Symptoms:
• Vomiting,
• Diarrhea,• Jaundice,• Sore throat with fever,• Lesion containing pus or draining, infected wound
* unless lesion can be covered by finger cot & single use glove or on area of body protected by an impermeable cover.
Diagnosis of:
• Norovirus,• Hepatitis A virus,• Shigella,• Enterohemorrhagic or shiga toxin‐producing E.Coli,
• Salmonella Typhi * time frame parameters are given for each diagnosis.
Food Employee or Conditional Employee shall report certain symptoms or diagnosis to the PIC
Highly Susceptible Populations (HSP):
"Highly susceptible population"means PERSONSwho are more likely than other people in the general population to experience foodborne disease because they are:
• (1) Immunocompromised; preschool age children, or older adults; and
• (2) Obtaining FOOD at a facility that provides services such as custodial care, health care, or assisted living, such as a child or adult day care center, kidney dialysis center, hospital or nursing home, or nutritional or socialization services such as a senior center.

U.S. Foodborne illness estimates (annually) 48 million cases The equivalent of sickening 1 in 6
Americans each year. 120,000 hospitalizations 3,000 deaths The USDA estimates that foodborne
illnesses cost $15.6 billion each year.
Who’s at risk? Older adults residing in nursing homes are
ten times more likely to die from bacterial gastroenteritis than the general population

Guidelines to follow for HSP:
•No bare hand contact with RTE foods.
•Time cannot be used alone as a health control measure (temperature must also be used).
• Juice must be pasteurized
Guidelines for HSP (continued):
•No raw or undercooked foods and no raw sprouts.
•Pasteurized eggs or egg products should be substituted for unpasteurized shell eggs in foods such as Caesar salad, meringue, hollandaise sauce, and other foods where raw eggs are used but may not be fully cooked.
*Exception: shelled eggs combined for immediate service if cooked to 145°F and served immediately.

Food Code Questions?
Great Expectations…Trends in Dining
Aging Population
•By 2030, 20% of the population will be 65 and older with accelerated growth in the 85+ population
•By 2050, 88.5 million Americans will be 65 and older

Nebraska’s Aging Population
Aging Creates Need for Assisted Care
Changing role of women as caregivers• 20% in workforce in 1915•Women are now the majority of the workforce in the USA: 51% of managerial and professional jobs
• 70% of American women with children under 18 are earning a paycheck while raising their children
Continued increase in older people who live alone•Women outlive men•Higher divorce rates•More people who don’t marry
Why Assisted Living?
Emerging way to make healthcare more affordable•Cost per‐diem averages about 2/3 of cost of equivalent room in nursing home
Increased net worth of older people• Increased ability to afford assisted living
