Unique Services
Resident Choice Meal Plan. “Everyday should be a holiday” is the philosophy behind the Resident Choice Meal Plan. Cerenity Senior Care had a vision to create something better for our elders by taking an innovative approach to meals in a care center. The plan helps to avoid the “resident rush hour” during morning breakfast. Residents now let staff know when they are ready to start their day. The implementation of the Resident Choice Meal Plan was congruent with the Eden Alternative philosophy which is embraced by all Cerenity facilities. It also created an improved balance in the employee’s work/home life. The Resident Choice Meal Plan offers two meals and snacks instead of three traditional meals. The meals and snacks offered are:
Continental Breakfast: 7:30–9am
This is optional, allowing each resident to awake at their leisure.
Beverage: juice, milk, coffee
Snack: sweet roll, toast, donut, Danish or muffin (finger food item)
