About Our Food

Our excellent dining offerings are an essential part of life at A Place Like Home. Though we are required to follow a State approved menu from a licensed dietitian, we have the freedom to cook our dishes anyway we like. Luis, in particular loves to cook. With his understanding of spices, all of his dishes are truly delicious. Residents can look forward to a variety of healthy and delicious meals all prepared with fresh seasonal ingredients.

Dining Includes:

• Three hot and tasty homemade meals daily.
• Fresh fruit, snacks and beverages, available for the asking.
• Our big meal is at lunchtime with a lighter meal for dinner. This aids in digestion and allows for a peaceful sleep.
• Private dining areas are available to celebrate special occasions with loved ones upon request.

What Makes Our Food So Good:

• Flavor
  Seniors tend to loose palate sensitivity in their later years. Many make the error of adding additional salt to compensate. The real solution is to add flavor. A Place Like Home uses citrus, spices, fresh herbs and other wholesome seasonings to make our food delectable.
• Choice
  Because we are a residential home, it is easy for us to cater to special recipe requests.
  Sometimes, as a group activity, we have residents pick out one recipe that they would like us to make. All are encouraged to tell us of their likes and dislikes.
• Nutrition
  We do not believe in empty calories. Though we offer a lot of choice, our meals are nutritionally complete. Since dehydration is a common concern with older folks, we prefer to serve a lot more water than sodas and sugary fruit juices. Even so, we meet halfway with peoples' personal preferences.
