Dining
Head down to the dining room for menu options that are all about you and sometimes feature your feedback and even your own family recipes. We also know people living with dementia are at a greater risk for poor nutrition and weight loss. That’s why we use mealtime as an opportunity to offer healthy menu choices and create a sense of belonging. Your loved one will enjoy dementia-friendly menus with familiar and easy-to-manage selections that are appealing to the senses.Sample Menu
