Another Opportunity - Listen in on a Two-Part Series on Identifying the Actual Cost of a Meal

Providing nutrition services is a business, and as a business, it is imperative every program executive be aware of the actual costs of services provided. To understand the costs associated with this business the National Resource Center on Nutrition and Aging is offering two webinars in May to help identify the costs and profit margins.

Part 1 - What is the Importance for Nutrition Programs?

This first session presents an overview from the state, AAA, and local provider perspective. Through the Affordable Care Act nutrition service providers may be able to create opportunities to collaborate with insurance, health care and long term care support systems. It is imperative to fully understand actual costs and acceptable "profit margins" before entering this changing business arena.

Part 2 - Understanding and Calculating Meal Costs

This webinar will focus on helping you understand all the components of your total meal cost (which is not just raw food cost), and will provide you with tools to help you identify and calculate the actual total meal costs. This session is designed for anyone who plans or oversees a senior nutrition program budget. Webinar participants will be given a workbook with cost management exercises and will have the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas during the webinar.
