At Civitas Senior Living, residents can enjoy the comforting taste of Blue Bell ice cream throughout the year. We partnered with Blue Bell Creameries, allowing residents, families, and staff to savor classic flavors anytime.
Mike Niebuhr, Food Service Manager at Blue Bell, explains why the partnership matters: “As a Texas-based company, it means a great deal to begin and strengthen partnerships with other local businesses, particularly as large as Civitas. Putting a smile on people’s faces and knowing they are enjoying some good memories with a bowl of homemade vanilla ice cream is very rewarding.”
Favorite Flavors for Every Season
Residents’ top choices include Black Walnut, Pistachio Almond, Butter Pecan, Pecan Pralines ‘n Cream, and the ever-popular Homemade Vanilla. Seasonal favorites like Red Velvet Cake, Peppermint, Christmas Cookies, and Peachy Peach add extra variety and delight.
Fresh and Healthy Options
Beyond ice cream, Civitas launched a partnership with TrueHarvest Farms to bring hydroponically grown lettuces to select communities. Residents enjoy fresh, pesticide-free greens at the daily salad bar, offering a balanced complement to sweet treats. Hydroponic greens are rich in nutrients and provide seniors with healthy options that support overall wellness.
Nutrition and Enjoyment Together
Taylor Richey, Vice President of Food and Beverage for Civitas Senior Living, shares: “Food plays such an important role in how our residents connect, celebrate, and thrive. Offering healthy options is a priority, but pairing that with a scoop of Blue Bell reminds us that balance matters — nutrition first, but joy always has a place at the table.”
