Food Service

Welcome to Food Service!  This building runs all dietary and nourishment needs of the individuals who live at Central Wisconsin Center.

Food Service is staffed with 51 full time equivalency positions, and is open seven days a week from 4:45 AM till 7:15 PM.  Our staffing includes Cooks, Food Service Assistants, Dietitians, Dietetic technicians and Supervisors.

In November 1999, the long anticipated dishroom project was completed.  Getting used to the new pieces of equipment was a challenge, but very rewarding.

As everyone else, Food Service experiences the ongoing recruitment difficulties.   The hard work and dedication of the employees, however, made it easy to meet the clients’ needs without compromising the quality of our services.  According to the visitors from Japan, CWC Food Service is a "Four Star Restaurant".

Couple of factors that helped the recruitment and retention of employees were the critical recruitment process and the reallocation of Food Service Laborer and Food Service Worker positions.  These two positions were combined into one classification, Food Service Assistant.

The clinical staff consists of Dietitians (3.5 full time equivalency) and Dietetic Technicians (1.5 full time equivalency).  The increased number of short-term admissions, the ongoing diet changes and the assessments of the clients’ nutritional status kept them very busy.  Clinical staff is the core of Food Service.  The production and service of all meals and snacks originate from the data provided by this group.
