Diversify your Dining by Decentralizing

Are you tired of your old institutional style kitchen service? Are you ready for a change from the time-consuming and never-ending tray line?

Let us decentralize your kitchen and provide you with a more restaurant-like service right from your dining room. By decentralizing your kitchen, it not only provides a different ambiance, look and feel, but it also promotes teamwork with an all-hands-on-deck mentality. Your administration, care partners and kitchen staff will all work side by side to ensure that residents enjoy a pleasant dining experience in their home.

The Decentralized Dining service provides our elders with the chance to enjoy their meals with friends while watching tv, enjoying music, and having a good time. This program also enhances their mobility and gives them time to socialize with their neighbors.

The concept of decentralization is not only to build a satellite kitchenette in each dining room but to encourage our elders to take their meals in the dining room and enjoy variety. Satellite Kitchenettes give residents more meal choices. As well as enjoying the aroma of fresh baked cookies or pies, they can also have some fresh refreshment from the juice bar, be able to create their own healthy salads from our garden bar or request made-to-order panini sandwiches delivered directly to their table. By decentralizing your kitchen, it promotes a more personal experience where our elders can enjoy the spirit of caring from our care partner teams along with Food Services.

The overarching goal is to improve residents quality of life. In general, by giving residents more choices, it can help them to feel more independent and involved in their day to day lives, as they would have been when living at home. We strive to provide the best dining services to our elders and believe that decentralizing revolutionizes not just meal times in Long Term Care, taking the dining experience to a whole new level, but also improves residents physical and mental health.
