Happy Pride in Food Service Week! Our culinary and dining teams work hard to create new and exciting ways to support our residents’ dining experience at our communities. In January, our executive chefs and CCL Hospitality Group partners gathered at Walnut Village Retirement Community for the Culinary & Dining Summit. Not only was this an excellent opportunity to build connections across our community teams but it also brought the teams together to discuss important topics including resident experience, culinary technology, quality and more. We are excited about the continued work of this partnership as we continually grow and adapt to meet residents’ needs while ensuring a delicious dining experience.
