Stop re-teaching the same basics every shift.
This is a complete set of branded, no-prep, one-page staff references that put the dysphagia and communication essentials right where nursing and CNA teams need them — at the station, on the med cart, or in your next in-service. Each page is clean, color-coded, and lamination-ready, with plain-language guidance and a built-in educational disclaimer so it’s safe to hand out in any facility.
What’s inside (7 references + sign-off):
✓ IDDSI Quick Reference — all 8 diet-texture levels with official IDDSI colors, examples & the old “nectar/honey/pudding” names
✓ Aspiration Precautions at a Glance — positioning, pacing, warning signs & a what-to-do response (plus silent aspiration)
✓ Signs of Dysphagia — When to Refer to SLP — a 12-item “flag it” checklist
✓ Safe Feeding Techniques — set-up, bite size, cueing & hand-over-hand, plus supervision-level definitions
✓ Thickened Liquids 101 — how to mix it right, common mistakes, meds & the hydration-safety balance
✓ Communicating with Aphasia — do’s & don’ts, tools that help & person-centered support
✓ Staff Training Competency & Sign-Off Sheet — document that you in-serviced the floor
✓ Terms of Use & License
Perfect for: SNF/LTC · memory care · home health · acute & rehab · new-staff onboarding.
Format: Instant-download PDF · print & digital · US Letter · single-clinician/single-facility license.
