dining Areas

The main dining room is located on the first floor at the center core of each building and has a seating capacity of fifty residents. Our meals are served at two separate sittings, in an attempt to accommodate those who prefer an early or not so early mealtime.

On admission, you will be assigned a particular table according to your mealtime preference. We will attempt to seat you with people who are compatible to yourself, but if you have any concerns, please contact either the Dietary Supervisor or the Director of Care to be re-assigned to another table.

Adjoining the main dining room in the hotel building (181) is our Private Dining Room. This area seats up to ten (10) at one table and is used for special events such as birthdays, anniversary's or just dining with family or friends. The private dining room must be reserved ahead of time through the Dietary Supervisor.

Our Secured Dining Room is located in the residence building (175) in the Assisted Living Area. Residents' who require assistance with their meals utilize this dining room.

To assist our dietary staff in clearing the dining room after each meal, we would ask that while we want you to sit and enjoy your dessert and coffee, we request that you do not linger too long after your meal, but perhaps carry your conversation out to one of the lounge areas. If you plan to be late for a meal or out of the facility during your mealtime, we will endeavor to make alternate arrangements for you. Please speak with the Dietary Supervisor prior to your mealtime. top

Special Diets

Our meals are nutritious, varied and well planned. We are most desirous that everyone receives satisfaction in the dining room. Arrangements can be made to meet your special dietary needs by speaking with the Dietary Supervisor on admission. We will make arrangements for any dietary need.
