QUESTION: Do other Providers use the My25 program of nutrition and menus? Do you feel the program provides significant savings for Supervised Group Living organizations? Please share your comments about the program, either positive or negative, along with any savings. We had a grant for this program for 4 houses for one year. It was/is an excellent program however what we found difficult was getting the staff to follow the program and use the shopping list, etc. It is a terrific program however. We tried My25 for one year. It has real potential but we were unable to get staff buy in so we pulled the plug on it. We used My25 for about a year. It did not replace out dietitian so there no cost savings. We used the program as a part of our wellness program for employees as well as an educational tool for person served. It never really caught on and we discontinued it after a year. Numerous members responded and indicated they have never used the My25 Program.
