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.

Dining Perks at Cedarhurst Senior Living

Dining is an important part of the daily routine in any Cedarhurst community. Residents have the opportunity to choose what their dining experience might look like based on the day, occasion, or how they’re feeling. Some of our dining perks include:

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!

Breaking Stereotypes About Senior Living Dining

Although senior living has evolved over the past few decades, it’s common for people to hold biases about what they think the experience will be like. But senior living dining is nothing like the old cliches. Here’s how Cedarhurst is breaking the mold.

 
  • Old Stereotype: Senior living food is bland and boring.
  • Cedarhurst Truth: Our menus are anything but boring—every dish is crafted to be full of flavor.
  • Old Stereotype: Residents have to eat in a loud and drab dining room.
  • Cedarhurst Truth: We feature an on-site restaurant that’s bright, airy, and welcoming to everyone.
  • Old Stereotype: Residents have to eat what’s on the menu.
  • Cedarhurst Truth: Residents have many different choices about what to eat, and not just between a few entrees.
  • Old Stereotype: Senior living can’t meet prescribed dietary needs.
  • Cedarhurst Truth: Residents can enjoy options that support their dietary needs and personal preferences.
  • Old Stereotype: Residents have to eat at certain times.
  • Cedarhurst Truth: Cedarhurst offers all-day dining, which means you can stay on your own schedule and eat when you prefer to.

Connections at Every Table

Sharing a meal with neighbors means more time to socialize with peers, increasing physical and mental health. Our community restaurants are designed to create the opportunity for conversations around the table, and our team members are there to help facilitate conversations as well.

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.
