Culinary Services

Food is an essential part of life, and we make it something to savor.

That's why our Executive Chef prepares an array of delicious cuisine for our residents with every meal. Our menus are tailored to the tastes of our residents.

Menus are not dictated from a corporate office.  

We provide our residents with a variety of meals throughout the year.  We  focus on incorporating what our residents truly want by offering them several homemade menu choices, served restaurant-style, with every meal. What if they want to change it? They join the monthly Culinary Dining Committee to enhance our offerings.

Food is nourishing not just for the body but also for the soul.

Sharing a meal together creates new friendships and memories, full of laughter and good conversation. Enjoying a delicious dinner or lingering over a glass of wine with neighbors truly makes dining something to look forward to.

Social Hours

Food and socializing go hand in hand, so we host occasional social hours where our residents can gather and enjoy some conversation, laughter, and, if they choose, a glass of wine or beer.

Birches-Dinner

Residents have input on menus.

We also believe that part of living well is eating well. That's why Our Culinary Dining Services Director meets with a committee of residents every month to ask them what foods they'd like to see on the menu, gather feedback on recent dishes and ask what entrées they miss from home. 

Popular requests are taken, even fried bologna sandwiches!

This enhances the dining experience for our residents since they have a say in their meals—just like a traditional home. We've even served fried bologna sandwiches because they were such a popular request from many of our residents in Memory Care and Assisted Living.  

We don't serve corporate food.

Unlike many corporately owned Assisted Living and Memory Care facilities, our Culinary team does not order in bulk to prepare meals for several buildings. 

Our team selects the best and freshest foods, ensuring an appealing variety of menu choices for our residents.

Dining In Memory Care

With dementia, sometimes words do not have meaning, so rather than use printed menus, we make up sample plates and show them to each resident. Learn more about our Memory Care dining.

menu-choices

We offer residents several menu choices.

This approach is incredibly unique since we don't use a rotating meal calendar. Instead, we focus on incorporating what our residents truly want by offering them two entrée choices, served restaurant-style, with every meal.
