Sample Menu
Dogwood
Forest recognizes that nutritious, tasty, and attractive meals can
do as much to nurture the spirit as they do the body. It's part of what makes an ideal living environment for seniors. That's why diet
is a major focus area of our overall wellness program.
Each Dogwood Forest community employs a full-time Dining Service Director
who works in conjunction with our corporate Consulting Certified Executive
Chef to prepare well balanced, appealing, and varied menus. As needed,
these valuable members of our team work with individual residents
to design special menus and recipes that address individual health
or religious dietary concerns. All of our meals are low salt and decaffeinated
tea and coffee are encouraged.
