Food and Beverage

For Isakson Living, the Food and Beverage service anchors our commitment to comfortable living. So much care and attention is put into it, down to the types of plates that make food colors pop. It’s such a large social component and we are determined to ensure our Members are nourished both by what’s served to them as well as through those moments of connection that just aren’t present in a typical cafeteria-style dining experience. We’re deeply committed to the lifestyle aspect of this particular service; that’s why we hire our general managers and chefs from top restaurants. Unlike communities that contract out the daily menus, our  meals are only handled in-house and we encourage the staff to develop relationships with the Members.

We also chose to offer a variety of dining options throughout which is quite a departure from other types of life plan communities. When we adopted the Household Model of Care, it was very important that our Members have the feeling of receiving home-cooked meals. With the shared living room and kitchen area, we never have more people than would be in a typical home. A chef or homemaker prepares the food right there in the unit and the Members can jump in to assist or relax with a glass of wine. As the food comes hot out of the oven, it’s plated and served just like they’ve always had. By having nutritionists on staff who collaborate with our physicians and our chefs, we’re able to ensure our Members are getting exactly what they enjoy eating and ensuring they’re getting all the nutrients they need, as well.
