Twice a year, the corporate Chefs and Dietitians get
together to create and build a seasonal, flavorful and nutritionally balanced
menu using the latest evidence based research. This year we are focusing on cognitive and
brain health by incorporating more whole grains, berries, and anti-oxidant rich
foods into our menus.
We use Webtrition which is our web-based proprietary
ingredient, recipe and menu management system. It is a powerful and complete tool that
provides quality recipes, production sheets, inventory control, and cost and
nutritional analysis. This guides our
directors and dietitians to be effective and efficient in running the Food and
Nutrition department at our communities across the country, while making sure
our residents receive well-balanced and flavorful meals for their overall
wellbeing.
