We take our meals and mealtime very seriously. We love food and love to cook. Our resident caretaker enjoys preparing food with our family. Choices are filled with variety, color, and nutrition. We love for our family to participate and have joy in cooking. A fabulous dietitian and GroveMenus™ help to guide our food preparation.
We spend a lot of time in our kitchens. Our residents particularly enjoy their time in our dining room areas, as they can socialize while having a hearty meal. At Applewood Our House, it is about the overall eating experience.
Nutrition
Getting the proper nutrition for your loved ones is imperative to maintaining their quality of life. Many menu systems sacrifice nutrition too quickly. We are committed to doing all we to can protect the nutritional quality and personal health benefits that are inherent in the right balance of foods.
We look for recipes that meet the balance of good taste and good health.
- Five-week menu cycle continually updated to season
- Balanced meals developed by Registered Dietitians
- High-quality recipes based on years of feedback
Recipes
We have been collecting recipes for over 20 years and are always adding new ones. We know that our menu program is no better than the recipes within and are confident your loved ones will enjoy the recipes. Many of the recipes have come from residents and caretakers themselves. We have been monitoring satisfaction with each recipe for years. We work very hard to provide the residents with recipes that are not only delicious but highly nutritious.
