A recent look at the new Medicaid Cost Report Navigator revealed quite a spread in food costs per resident day (prd.). Average is $9 prd, high is $22.11 prd and low is $3.92 prd. Wow. Check out where you (and others) fall in the Expense Ratios tab of the Medicaid Cost Report Navigator today. This might be good information to share with your Dietary Manager, consulting Dietitian and/or Culinary Arts Director. If you are way out of whack, give Dave Auch dave@leadingagekansas.org , our Group Purchasing Advisor, a call for a food cost study. Value First may help you find savings.
