What residents eat, how meals are planned, and whether special diets are followed correctly are not afterthoughts in Michigan Adult Foster Care — they are compliance expectations with direct implications for resident health, licensing standing, and quality of life.
Nutritional Protocol for Adult Foster Care from Direct Care Training & Resource Center, Inc. gives your team the knowledge and practical skills to meet those expectations confidently. Aligned with the Michigan Strategic Training Workgroup (STWG) and updated to reflect the November 2025 Consolidated AFC Administrative Rules (R 400.601–R 400.745), this course is built for direct care workers, group home supervisors, AFC administrators, and community mental health direct support professionals working in residential settings.
Across a comprehensive single-chapter curriculum, staff master the full nutritional care cycle — dietary guidelines and the food pyramid, the relationship between nutrition and chronic disease, reading food labels, implementing therapeutic and special diets, hydration monitoring, calcium and fiber planning, safe food storage and preparation, budgeting for meals, and maintaining resident food journals. Every lesson connects nutrition knowledge to real group home practice.
For administrators, this course supports onboarding, annual in-service documentation, and LARA AFC compliance. For CMH providers, it directly addresses MACMHB direct support professional competency standards in resident health and wellness.
A free preview is available. Full enrollment is just $69.95.
