Highest Culinary Standards
Highest Culinary Standards
From cooking for celebrities to training around the world, our Executive Chefs have diverse culinary experiences that they bring to our communities. Their specially trained backgrounds mean they don’t settle for pre-made or poorly sourced food items and use only the best ingredients in every dish.
We partner with local farmers for seasonal produce and utilize high-quality sources for our meat and other food staples to ensure we use the absolute best ingredients in every meal.
Menu Development
Menu Development
Our menus rotate seasonally and are developed by chefs and their culinary teams at the individual community level.
Monthly Food Feedback From forums to comment cards, resident counsels and more, we have a variety of ways for our residents to provide feedback on meals and their dining experiences.
Powerful Purées Program
Powerful Purées Program
Our Powerful Purées Program sets a new standard for texture-modified dining. Unlike traditional puréed meals, our Powerful Purées Program allows residents with dysphagia (difficulty chewing and swallowing) to enjoy thoughtfully shaped and plated dishes that resemble the foods they know and love.
From breakfast favorites to comforting entrées, every meal is recognizable, appetizing, and served with pride.
Nutrition and Wellness
Nutrition and Wellness
Dining and wellness teams work together with our registered dietitians to support changing needs — with thoughtful accommodations built into everyday menus.
We’ve set the standard in all of our communities that our Executive Chef or sous chef is in the dining room every evening during your service to connect with you and get your feedback.
Monthly Cooking Demos Learn how to replicate your favorite community dish or just enjoy the commentary of a live cooking demonstration. Each month, our Executive Chefs will demonstrate a mix of your favorites along with some exciting new dishes to try.
