Here’s your reminder to check your emergency food + water supply 🚨

In long-term care, preparedness is part of patient safety. Ensuring adequate hydration, access to shelf-stable foods, and proper inventory rotation can make a critical difference during unexpected situations.

✔️ Aim for at least 1 gallon of water per person per day
✔️ Maintain 3–5 days of food and supplies
✔️ Regularly check expiration dates and rotate inventory

This is also a great time for RDs, dietary managers, and admin teams to reconnect and review emergency protocols together.

Save this as a quick checklist and revisit your facility’s plan this week.

Food insecurity means limited or uncertain access to enough food for an active, healthy life.

It’s more common than many realize and not always visible. It can affect working adults, students, older adults, and families in our own communities. Even when food becomes available, the stress and anxiety around food can remain.

At Nutrition Therapy Essentials, we work within skilled nursing and healthcare settings to improve food access, enhance dining programs, and support systems that promote consistent, reliable nutrition for those who need it most.
