HOW CAN WE NOURISH YOUR DAY?

DINING EXPERIENCE

A PERFECT PAIRING FOR A FULL DAY.

Fuel your day with a personalized culinary experience steeped in wholesome nutrition. Under the guidance of our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), the dining teams at Ecumen communities source local and sustainably grown ingredients to create thoughtful meals. During the summer months some ingredients even come from our very own community gardens—yum!

Let's Set the Table Together

Collaboration is an important ingredient for cooking up the best dining experience for our residents. Reach out to the dietician or culinary expert at your Ecumen living space to talk about your preferences and dietary needs. Our nutritional specialists are ready to whip up solutions for food allergies, gluten-free options, texture-modified diet, and therapeutic diet for medical conditions.

We also keep flexible dining times to accommodate a whole smorgasbord of eating schedules (within reason). And be sure to invite guests to dine with you—family and friends are always welcome in our dining rooms.

Nutritional Experts

The dining team members in our communities—often hired from culinary institutes in the region—receive continuous in-service training from our Registered Dietician and Certified Dietary Manager. Training includes kitchen sanitation safety, nutrition for individual resident care plans, licensing guidelines, and state and federal regulations.
