The culinary team at the Felician Sisters Michigan in Livonia experience a very unique challenge to service. The facility is undergoing renovations that will enhance the sisters lives, but in order to do so they must construct a new hallway without disrupting the outside of the building (it is a historical landmark). To do this the construction team needed to move pieces of equipment and material over the building and into a courtyard using a crane. Our unique challenge was how to provide the sisters with uninterpted service while not being able to go into the kitchen or walk-ins for a couple of days (talk about a safety hazard). We discovered an unused kitchenette in a completely different area of the building and although it was tiny and cramped, we managed to still get all the necessary items completed for breakfast, lunch, and supper. I couldn't be prouder of my team for pitching in and getting it done regardless of the circumstances.
