Good food means a better life for our residents. Simply put, residents are more likely to eat if they enjoy the food served. Our experience and research shows that healthy eating translates to healthier residents who:
· Are more independent
· Go to the hospital less often
· Participate more in life
· Are overall happier
We operate through evidenced based nutritional practice because it allows us to do what is right for the older adult.
We work to model the Pioneer Network Dining Standards in our practice by encouraging increased intake through liberalization of the diet.
We promote the limitation of therapeutic diets, as research has shown that these lead to poor overall health outcomes.
Our tasty recipes and menus will help you maximize your residents’ nutritional needs and improve resident satisfaction. Our distinctive solutions to dining services issues will help differentiate you from your competition.
