 Senior Dining
Established in 1990, our Senior Dining program was developed to address the nutritional and social needs of our senior community members.
The program is open to area community members, over the age of 55, to socialize while enjoying a well-balanced, home cooked meal. Our trained dietary staff will also assist any individual in the program with special dietary needs.
Holiday parties and programs also proved the unique opportunity for socialization.
All meals are planned by our staff dietitian and nutritionist and prepared in our kitchen by Hospital cooks. Each meal offers the choice of soup, salad bar, entrees, a variety of desserts and many other popular items.
