Our approach to food is simple. Wholesome meals, innovative menus and engaged associates improve everyone’s wellbeing. Your dining program will be rooted in the culture of your community, respecting both your heritage and modern taste trends. Your menus will be entwined with our food philosophy – putting flavour, nutrition and service at the heart of everything we do.
We believe that shared meals and special events serve as the heartbeat of your community’s culture. Whether your residents are dining together or alone in their rooms, your community’s menus and service options should enable them to “personalise” their culinary experience with an array of offerings that support their dietary needs, preferences, schedules and moods.
Residents at all levels of care deserve culinary excellence. So do your visitors and associates. It’s central to today’s satisfaction and the brand you project for tomorrow’s residents. It involves not just the plated food, but the way it’s served, the environment of our dining spaces, and close collaboration with the wellness team. It’s a “whole team” strategy that takes into account what we need to do immediately and where we want to head in the future.
Building venues and menus that meet the needs of the whole community and each resident is both an art and a science – and its key to resident satisfaction.
Whether they’re dining in your main dining room, at a bistro, or in your memory care dining room, your residents deserve properly balanced menus that allow them to personalise their dining experience.
After assessing your residents’ dining preferences, our frequently rotating menus are designed specifically for your community and generally include:
