Mechanical Soft Diet
This diet is used for clients who have a tough time chewing. We use ground or chopped meats and softer textured foods, such as canned fruits or bananas.
Pureed Diet
This diet is used for clients who have chewing and swallowing problems. All foods are pureed to the consistency of mashed potatoes or pudding.
Thickened Liquids
Thick liquids are used for clients who have swallowing problems and will cough or choke on thin liquids. Thick liquids are often paired with a pureed diet, but are ordered separately. When thickened liquids are ordered, gelatin, broth soups, ice cream, sherbet, tap water and cream soups should all be avoided. There are three consistencies , nectar-like liquids, honey- like liquids or pudding-like liquids.
