Seniors Housing Business Shines Spotlight on Dining at Erickson Communities

In the latest from Seniors Housing Business, a prominent industry trade publication, Kevin Bunn, vice president of dining services at Erickson Senior Living shares how elevating residents’ dining experiences enhances their overall lifestyle. Check out this excerpt from his column “Exceptional Dining: A Key Ingredient for a Fulfilling Lifestyle” below. 

"Nothing shapes — or caps off — an enjoyable day quite like an extraordinary meal served in comfortable surroundings. And nothing fuels an active, engaged lifestyle like dishes made from the finest ingredients and prepared with the utmost care. 

Many of the most cherished experiences are shared amid a delicious meal with family and friends. This is true of seniors housing communities, where the opportunity to eat with friends and neighbors in a relaxed atmosphere is one of the primary benefits. At the senior living communities where we work, creating these special moments is our mission.

Elevating residents’ dining experiences absolutely improves their overall lifestyle. From our residents’ perspective, that process begins with the host or hostess who welcomes them with a friendly smile. The experience carries through to the server who anticipates their every need and the expert chefs who prepare ideal dishes for any given occasion, providing a delectable conclusion.

At Erickson Senior Living, we’re constantly working behind the scenes to raise the bar and exceed our residents’ expectations. Erickson follows several guiding principles to ensure our dining programs meet our residents’ changing needs and preferences."
