Cooks are now trained by the Director. In addition, each cook will attend this training as it and funds are available. Many of the concepts learned in this training have been implemented in the kitchens. The Bennett County Senior Citizens is a smaller nutrition project within the State. However, it has been a leader in improving its program to better serve seniors and meet program requirements.
Participants are satisfied with our services and consistently rate our program as very good.
They are confident that they can continue to improve the program in the coming years. The Board of Directors and Program Director are not afraid to try new ideas. They constantly question what they can do to be more efficient and better. Several participants were able to leave the nursing home and return home. Many are able to return directly home after hospitalization.
