Dining Experience
Our home-cooked meal plan is overseen by a culinary team and certified chef on staff that specialize in senior nutritional needs. Our menu plans are changed on a seasonal basis. Our goal is to offer the freshest options as possible. That is why we offer our residents options that are in season.
We have a restaurant based dining experience. Every day we have the “menu of the Day” that is placed at their table were they can chose what they would like to dine on. If the resident is not pleased with what is offered they have the option to request an alternative selection.
Also if the resident does not feel well or does not want to come to the dining room, we do offer room service.
