Nutrition & Meals
Getting together with friends to enjoy good food and conversation can give life to an otherwise bleak existence. We believe meals should not only be good for our members, but they also provide an opportunity to make them feel at home.
Our nutritional services meet each participant's needs beyond general low sodium, low fat recommendations. We accommodate medical requirements and food allergies, as well as tastes. We encourage our participants to improve their diets and learn to make better nutritional choices.
Nutritious, balanced meal plans are developed by a Registered Dietitian and include full hot breakfast, hot lunch from our partner restaurant Lanjeron, and snacks throughout the day.
