Enticing Memory Care Dining Experiences

In The Cottage, food is about both nutrition and the experience. We serve freshly made meals with warm, friendly service and offer a resident-centered menu designed to abide by the latest nutritional guidelines in physical and cognitive wellness. Individualized dietary monitoring and tailored menu selections are provided as well according to the preferences of our residents.

In The Kitchen is an engaging piece of our activities program. Residents will help create a meal by shucking corn, mixing dough, or whisking batter to complete the selected dish. The Memory Care Coordinator will then take the ingredients into the kitchen to complete the food or snack for everyone to enjoy. We also have Spice Club where residents smell the ingredients and discuss which recipes they could make or have made.

By creating opportunities to engage with our residents using food, we go beyond providing a healthy diet and into another way to connect.

  • Freshly prepared fare using the finest ingredients
  • Three homestyle meals a day and snacks
  • Specialized diets for health and religious needs
  • MINDful resident-centered menu
  • Consistent hydration
  • Hand towel aromatherapy before and after meals
  • In The Kitchen activities
  • Simplified dining process for easier meal choices
  • Smaller, easier-to-eat items requiring less cutting and promoting independence
  • Finger foods that do not require utensils, aiding those with coordination difficulties
  • Foods designed to help residents with dementia eat more and reduce the risk of malnutrition
