Food is one the most important aspects of a Senior Living community. Residents should experience immediate and direct benefits from a positive dining experience.

Lack of eating is often due to a lack of interest, boring menu selections, or a feeling that the food is too much trouble or effort to prepare or eat. Giving seniors more than food as a reason to come to the dining room is important to overcoming bad choices. Creating a dining experience will motivate and encourage eating, as well as socialization with others.

Poor health is often a result of poor nutrition caused by choosing not to eat. Communities who care about their residents, care about what is on their resident’s plates. Ask the communities you are interested in touring to prepare a meal for sampling – you’ll see and taste firsthand what’s being served.
