Measuring the Dining Experience in Care Homes
You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Dignity dining needs more than ‘they finished it’ — it needs a view of whether the mealtime was actually a good experience.
What it looks like in practice
- Intake records — but read with context
- Resident and family feedback, formally and informally
- Observation of the mealtime atmosphere, not just the plate
- CQC KLOEs on dignity and nutrition as the benchmark
- Acting on what’s captured, not filing it

Measuring the Dining Experience in Care Homes
You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Dignity dining needs more than ‘they finished it’ — it needs a view of whether the mealtime was actually a good experience.
What it looks like in practice
- Intake records — but read with context
- Resident and family feedback, formally and informally
- Observation of the mealtime atmosphere, not just the plate
- CQC KLOEs on dignity and nutrition as the benchmark
- Acting on what’s captured, not filing it
