Healthy food is an essential component of a wellness plan.
Wellness is a focus for independent seniors as well as those in Assisted Living, Memory Care, Rehabilitation and Respite Care. The goal of healthy living is multifaceted but certainly requires a commitment to the right food choices.
At Charter Senior Living, you’ll enjoy chef-prepared meals that take into account your specific dietary needs. Without sacrificing quality or taste, you’ll be given all the necessary nutrients to fuel your many retirement pursuits.
Senior dining venues offer opportunities for socialization.
Socialization is vital for seniors. Connecting with others and building community is life-affirming and has been shown to improve both your physical and mental health. Mealtimes are built-in moments of your day that give you the chance to share an experience with others.
Our restaurant-style venues provide three distinct times during the day when you can connect with others over a delicious array of food. You can acquaint yourself with new friends, chat with your spouse, or bond with loved ones over a casual lunch or a three-course meal.
Residents need variety and predictability.
Sometimes you’re in the mood for something new, and other times you want a more traditional offering. Our dining experience – including beverage service, a starter, main course, and dessert – satisfies each of these needs.
For the times you crave standard fare, we offer an Always Available Menu with items like a Classic Burger, Grilled Cheese Melt and a Classic BLT. For the moments when you need something new, we have unique themed meals, resident choice selections, and the opportunity to personalize any menu item to your taste.
Dining rituals tap into memories.
Whether you’re in Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Rehabilitation or Respite Care, dining has a powerful way of allowing you to access and connect to sentimental moments in your life.
At Charter Memory Care neighborhoods, we go the extra mile to help residents connect to their past. One way we do this is with our activity kitchen. With gentle supervision, residents can complete kitchen tasks in a familiar environment that reminds them of kitchens in their past homes.
Comfort and Nourishment Beyond the Menu
Dining with Charter Senior Living is like gathering around a table with your closest family members and friends. Our executive chefs are formally trained and committed to providing the culinary experience residents desire. Come experience our beautiful dining venues and delicious fare for yourself.
