Our excellent dining offerings are an essential part of life at A Place Like Home. Though we are required to follow a State approved menu from a licensed dietitian, we have the freedom to cook our dishes anyway we like. And our care providers love to cook. Residents can look forward to a variety of healthy and delicious meals all prepared with fresh seasonal ingredients.
Dining Includes:
- Three hot and tasty homemade meals daily.
- A gourmet selection of classic and regional favorites, accommodations for religious preferences, and flavors from around the world.
- Fresh fruit, snacks and beverages that are always available for the asking.
- Private dining areas that are available to celebrate special occasions with loved ones upon request.
What Makes Our Food So Good:
- Flavor
Seniors tend to loose palate sensitivity in their later years. Many make the error of adding additional salt to compensate. The real solution is to add flavor. A Place Like Home uses citrus, spices, fresh herbs and other wholesome seasonings to make our food delectable. - Choice
Because we are a small home, it is easy for us to gladly cater to special recipe requests. As a weekly activity, we have each resident pick out one recipe that they would like us to make. We sit at a table with them and look through cookbooks and visit online sites so that everyone is involved. - Nutrition
We do not believe in empty calories. Though we offer a lot of choice, our meals are nutritionally complete.
