Dietary Aide

Assist with preparing and plating meals following standardized recipes and resident diet orders, including therapeutic, texture-modified, and allergen-restricted diets. Serve meals in the dining room or deliver trays to resident rooms, ensuring correct portions, temperatures, and presentation. Verify trays against diet cards and communicate any concerns or changes in resident dietary needs to nursing or dietary staff. Wash dishes, clean kitchen surfaces, sanitize equipment, and maintain a safe, hygienic food-service environment following infection-control standards. Assist with receiving, storing, and rotating food supplies to minimize waste while maintaining accurate logs of meals served, temperatures, and special diet requirements. Coordinate with dietary staff, nurses, and care teams to support resident nutrition plans.
