If you're willing and able to handle the responsibilities of working as a cook at an assisted living facility, a rewarding career with many future employment opportunities awaits you.

Kitchen Maintenance

As an assisted living cook, you'll be expected to make sure that your kitchen and workstation are always clean. You will also be expected to meet federal and state health department standards and codes for proper food storage, handling, and preparation.

Facilitating

 You'll have to manage difficult situations and respond in a professional manner. You may need to explain the reasons for this and help the residents understand the nutritional value and benefits of the foods that the doctor does recommend for her.

Record Keeping

 A cook's responsibilities would include routine record-keeping duties and assisting with the compilation of department reports. Keeping records of what you serve to the residents, their dining schedules and the operations of the kitchen facility is important. Your records will need to show that you're meeting the health requirements and nutritional needs of every tenant.

Creating Menus

Based on the dietary requirements of the residents in the living facility, you'll be responsible for creating appropriate meals. You'll be challenged daily to find ways to provide a high-quality menu while adhering to the restrictions. Although menu planning and recipe development in this industry has more restrictions than other food service venues, there are still opportunities to exhibit your creativity.
