Dining for Wellness™

Unique to Senior Lifestyle communities, Dining for Wellness™ program is a community-wide celebration of education, entertainment and dining experiences focused on centered around a health challenge that many of our residents are challenged with on a daily basis. These celebrations are held every-other month on topics such as Arthritis, Diabetes, Hypertension and Dental Health.

Dining for Wellness™ program offers a series of six special menus focused on items that support specific areas of healthy living for seniors. The menu series provides creative dining choices as well as informative details on how the items support a well rounded fit life - click here to see an example menu. The Dining for Wellness™ program menus focus on food items that impact hypertension, high blood pressure, diabetes, macular degeneration, memory loss and arthritis control. Informational lectures are held throughout the campaign months to explain how diet can affect a condition such as those listed above. "We selected health issues that can really be changed by diet," says David Koelling, vice president of corporate services.

At Senior Lifestyle Corporation, we believe we are only as good as our last meal.

Because our residents eat in the same community restaurants every day, we strive to make our menus innovative, creative and lively. Our meals are prepared by chefs who work together to make healthy eating a treat. The Dining for Wellness™ program menus as well as the daily menu selections feature fresh, seasonal cuisine. Wherever feasible, we source seasonal specialties locally.

Great meals are the heart of our communities and our dining staff is its soul. They understand their critical role in the life of each resident, from the start of the day to the final evening snack. Their positive attitudes and terrific energy are the icing on our homemade cake.
