More Than a Menu: Cedarhurst’s Unique Dining Experience for Seniors
Senior living dining has evolved over the past few decades, and at Cedarhurst Senior Living communities, we have adjusted our approach to dining after listening to what our residents want and need. The result is more than a menu—it’s a dining experience crafted especially for the residents who call our communities home.

Restaurant-style dining with neighbors
Each community has an on-site restaurant that offers all-day dining rather than set hours for each meal.
Entertaining in the private dining room
Want to invite friends over for a dinner party? Or gather family members together for a milestone? Celebrate these moments in our private dining room—without worrying about cooking or cleaning!
Intimate dining settings
We want to provide a positive dining experience no matter what a resident needs. Large-group dining experiences can be overstimulating to those experiencing cognitive decline, so we offer smaller restaurants designed to feel like home while providing any physical adaptations a resident may need.
Grab-and-go
Sometimes you may need something quick and healthy when you’re rushing out the door for a planned excursion or just want something light. Our communities offer grab-and-go options for these busy moments or when you want lighter fare.
Room service
Sometimes you may need some time alone or aren’t feeling well. When these moments strike, simply call to request room service, and a Cedarhurst team member will bring your meal to you.
Local options
We love supporting local dining establishments, so we plan excursions to local restaurants, bakeries, diners, and coffee shops throughout the month.
Cooking demonstrations
Cooking demonstrations are always a hit, giving residents the chance to watch their dining team members do what they love: Make great food. And as a bonus, participants get to taste the food!

A Tailored Experience for Everyone
We tirelessly honor residents’ needs, wants, and wishes, and that rings especially true during the dining experience. We provide all-day dining and breakfast options, special dining adaptations, and a dignified experience for everyone.

Alfresco Dining
Many communities find ways to delight residents with alfresco dining opportunities, whether it’s a specially packed picnic to take to a favorite local park or an opportunity to enjoy s’mores on the patio for dessert.
The Intersection of Quality and Convenience
Dining at Cedarhurst begins with our attention to details, such as how you take your coffee or that you love a salad for lunch in the hot summer months. In addition, dining at Cedarhurst is convenient. You can find a good meal in our restaurant or grab something on your way out the door. In either case, you can be confident the food you enjoy is healthy and delicious.
Resident Involvement in Meal Planning
To create meals and dining experiences our residents love, we must ask them what they want. Each Cedarhurst Senior Living community finds ways to involve residents in the dining program, whether it’s by asking for favorite family recipes we can replicate in the kitchen or learning how to make food that’s culturally important to residents.
