Do you have guests coming over for a meal soon? Are you looking for new and creative recipe ideas? Then I hope you’ll consider serving nursing home food.

No, I’m not joking. We all know that nursing homes historically carried a reputation for providing unattractive and poor tasting food. Thankfully, this is rapidly changing.

While researching another topic, I happened upon three senior care communities that I want to share with you today. What these facilities have in common is the fact that they take great pride in their excellent dining programs. They’re so proud, in fact, that they’re eager to share their menus and recipes with the rest of us.

No matter where I go, it seems like the most common complaint in nursing homes involves the food. Understandably, making meals that appeal to every resident remains a challenging task.

For one thing, nursing home residents come from such a wide variety of backgrounds that affect their meal preferences. This includes their ethnic heritage and the traditions of individual families.

Then you need to consider the personal likes and dislikes of each resident. This is reflected in something I see so often when I read notes from resident council meetings. One person complains that the food has too much seasoning, while another resident describes the food as bland.

Over the past several months, I’ve highlighted innovative nursing home programs that have won a variety of awards. Today let’s look at four assisted living facilities that received “Best of the Best” awards over the past few years.
