Recording Meal Completion

Overview

Meal completion records how much of a meal a member ate. On the Meals page, the Completion column offers five percentage buttons; selecting one saves the amount and marks the meal as served in one step. Completion data helps your team monitor nutritional intake.

Before You Begin

You must be logged into Seniorverse with Care module access.
You need the Care:Meals permission (or Care:FullAccess).

Understanding the Completion Buttons

The Completion column shows five buttons:

Button	Meaning
100	Ate everything
75	Ate most of the meal
50	Ate about half
25	Ate a small portion
0	Did not eat any of the meal

Selecting any of these also sets the meal status to served, so you do not need to set the status separately.

Steps

Step 1: Open the Meals page and select the meal

Select Care, then Meals. Confirm the date and choose the meal in the Type selector.

Step 3: Select the completion amount

In the Completion column, select 100, 75, 50, 25, or 0. The selection saves immediately and the button stays highlighted.

Step 4: Add a note if the member ate little

If a member ate 25 or 0, add context in the Notes column so the care team understands the pattern.

Simplified View

If your center uses the simplified meals view, the Completion column shows Yes and No instead of percentages. Yes marks the meal served and No marks it declined.

Tips

Choose the closest percentage — for example, select 75 for about 60–80 percent.
Record completion while serving so observations stay accurate.
To correct a value, just select a different button; it overwrites the previous one.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
I selected the wrong amount	Select the correct button; the new value replaces the old one.
I need to record a past meal	Change the date selector to the meal's date, then record completion (if your permissions allow past edits).
The member is not in the list	Check the date, meal Type, and Attendance filter.
The buttons do nothing	You may lack the Care:Meals permission. Ask your administrator.
