Imagine a dining experience that not only satisfies your palate but also nourishes your soul. How might your perception of senior living communities change if you discovered they offer exceptional dining experiences that rival some of the finest restaurants?
We offer a peek inside fine dining at Boutwells Landing, where employees and residents alike dish the secret sauce.
5 reasons to savor culinary excellence at our communities
Special thanks to Boutwells Landing residents Greg and Rita Iverson, and Leo and Roberta Forss.
Personalized, flavorful meals: “The culinary staff goes out of their way to provide excellent food and a great dining experience.”
Friends and socialization: “It’s amazing! We come down and sit with our friends. It’s really a lovely, lovely time.”
Nutrition and wellness offerings: “We eat meals here, we exercise every morning downstairs, walk around the building, participate in classes. There’s so much – you can’t do it all!”
Nonprofit, faith-based ministry: “We like that this is a nonprofit, faith-based organization. That means a lot.”
Prime rib: “We like all their meals. But when they tell people that they’re serving prime rib, you have to run straight to your room to place a reservation. They fill up immediately.”
