Fresh Food Philosophy

Our Fresh Food Focus philosophy means we provide incredible homemade and nutritional meals for our residents and guests using the freshest, locally-grown ingredients available.  We're taking the time to prepare meals from scratch, and residents taste the difference across every kitchen, on every stove top, at every meal in every community.

Seasonal & Local Produce

We've established key partnerships with local growers to purchase fresh, local products as the ingredients for daily meals.  In addition, each community, during the summer months, collaborates with residents, dining staff and the community at large, to grow herbs and vegetables that are utilized in the kitchen.  Some communities even have their own farmer's market where proceeds go to charity. 

Hydrate for Health

For optimal health, we encourage our residents to drink at least six glasses of water a day.  Residents, family members and guests can enjoy a refreshing glass of fruit and vegetable-infused water at our hydration stations located throughout each community. 

Healthy Options

We work with our residents to ensure healthy, nutritious options are available at each meal and accommodate for residents on special diets, helping to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, through dining experiences. Residents and their family members can feel confident that a variety of delicious options are provided at each meal, replacing sodium with fresh herbs and spices, and leaving out preservatives.
