Senior living can be a rewarding and positive experience, and a first-rate dining experience is a key component to resident happiness. Dining is not only important to nutrition and health, but it is also important to social well being.
When potential residents and their loved ones visit our communities, dining and food are top of mind. Will there be options to choose from? Are meals planned with nutritional and dietary concerns accounted for? How many meals are served per day?
These are some of the common questions we receive, but other additional considerations should be taken when evaluating assisted living, especially when it comes to dining. In this blog, we wanted to show you what dining will be like at a Senior Solution's community so that you know what to expect before a visit.
The Dining Atmosphere
While the dining environment varies from community to community, we want residents at each community to feel like they are eating at a five star restaurant. When residents sit down for meals, they will have an elegant table setting with friendly servers. In addition, our communities have equisite furnishings and decor to create an even more enjoyable dining experience, as can be seen in the photo below of The Palms of Punta Gorda dining area.
Nurtrition and Health
A healthy balanced diet is the key to wellness and vitality at every stage of life. With age, eating well can also be the key to a positive outlook and staying emotionally balanced. Eating well as an older adult is all about fresh, colorful food, creativity in the kitchen, and eating with friends, according to Healthguide.org. Senior Solutions plans each meal with this in mind to ensure residents are getting the adequate nutrition their diet needs.
Food Options and Menu
If you are familiar with Senior Solution's and the regions we have communities, you'll know or maybe have experienced first hand the tremendous taste of the BBQ Doctor's cooking. BBQ Doctor, a community cookout and fundraising effort headed by the leadership team at Senior Solution's, is a testiment of the fine taste residents will receive on the menu at our communities. While BBQ isn't always cooking, there are plenty of tasty options available for each meal in addition to snacks served throughout the day. Here's a sample menu you'll find at one of our communities:
Family Is Always Welcome
When age doesn't allow you to have those big family gatherings at your own home, you can still have them at the convenience of assisted living at Senior Solutions. We always welcome visitors to join their loved one for a meal because food really is only as good as the company you enjoy it with.
Experience Our Dining First Hand
If you or a loved one is considering a transition to assisted living, a visit to prospective communities is the best way to determine if the dining experience will be the best you could ask for. We invite you to request a tour today to see our dining experience first hand. Visit our communities page to find the best option and location for you, then schedule a tour and join us for dinner!
