A resident diet system built for nursing home kitchens

MealCare keeps each resident's diet order, allergies, texture requirements and food preferences in one place — and carries them through to weekly menus, meal counts and kitchen compliance records for every facility you serve.

What you can track for each resident

Diet orders per resident

Record the prescribed diet for each resident — regular, renal, diabetic, low sodium, high protein, pureed or mechanical soft — with the date the order changed and who recorded it.

Allergies and intolerances

Flag allergens and intolerances against the resident record so kitchen staff see the restriction alongside the day's menu rather than on a separate paper list.

Textures, fluids and portions

Capture texture-modified and thickened-fluid requirements plus portion sizes, so tray line staff serve consistently across every shift.

Preferences and dislikes

Log likes, dislikes and cultural or religious preferences to reduce plate waste and give residents food they will actually eat.

Change log with author and time

Every resident diet note is stored with the author and timestamp, giving your dietary team a running history of changes at each facility.

Facility-scoped access

Facility managers only see residents and notes for their own building. Company admins see every facility from one account.

How a diet change moves through MealCare

Log the diet change

A facility manager adds a resident diet note in the Notes section, categorized as a resident diet change, as soon as nursing communicates a new order.

Build the week's menu around it

The weekly menu builder covers breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, so modified diets are planned in rather than improvised at the tray line.

Send for dietitian approval

Menus and schedules are submitted for review. A company admin approves them or sends them back with notes before the week is served.

Track counts and compliance

Daily meal counts and kitchen cleaning checklists tie the served meals back to budget, cost per meal and sanitation sign-off.

Who it is for

MealCare is built for specialty food service companies that run dietary and nutrition services across multiple nursing homes, and for the facility managers inside those buildings. Managers work only inside their own facility; the company admin reviews and approves menus, schedules and compliance sheets across every location from one dashboard.
