Dining is a pivotal aspect of the resident experience at the Comprehensive Care Center (CCC). The facility's speech therapists and dieticians conduct personal evaluations for each resident to ensure that the meals provided are not only nutritious but also tailored to individual dietary needs. The CCC's dining services staff is dedicated to maintaining high standards of food quality, service, and resident satisfaction. Nutritional, therapeutic, social, and special dietary needs are all considered when planning meal offerings, reflecting the staff's deep care for residents.
The CCC's menu features a broad array of choices, incorporating seasonal vegetables and fruits to enhance meal quality and variety. The kitchen is supported by a registered dietician and dietary technicians who specifically address the nutritional and dietary requirements of each resident. This personalization ensures that every resident's unique dining needs are met, from swallowing capabilities assessed by speech therapists to dietary adjustments recommended by dieticians for optimal health and chronic condition management.
Residents at the CCC have the flexibility to choose their dining setting, with options to dine in different dining rooms. This variety not only caters to personal preferences but also fosters social interactions among residents, keeping them engaged and connected within the community.
