When people think about senior living dining, one of the biggest misconceptions is that residents have limited options or must eat whatever is being served that day.

At Cedarhurst Senior Living, that couldn't be further from the truth.

Through our Crafted by Cedarhurst® dining program, residents enjoy a restaurant-style experience built around flexibility, quality, and personal choice. While communities offer daily lunch and dinner specials, residents are never limited to those selections. Instead, they can choose from a wide variety of menu options designed to match their tastes, preferences, and dietary needs.

"Residents are empowered to make choices that truly reflect their tastes and dietary needs, which brings joy and satisfaction to each meal," said Christian Gullet, Corporate Executive Chef for Cedarhurst Senior Living.

The Crafted by Cedarhurst® menu features all-day dining, including breakfast favorites served at any time. Residents can enjoy omelets customized with their favorite ingredients, hearty breakfast classics, fresh salads, artisan sandwiches, burgers, soups, pizzas, and more. Many menu items can be personalized, allowing residents to create meals that fit their appetite and lifestyle.

Healthy options are always available as well. Residents can order grilled chicken paired with vegetables, fresh fruit, cottage cheese, yogurt parfaits, or other nutritious sides. They can also combine items from the all-day menu with featured entrées to create a meal that's uniquely their own.

For Mary Hunter, a resident at Cedarhurst of Columbia, the variety often surprises people.

"We do not have to order the special," Hunter said. "We can order 35 to 40 or more different meal combinations. Soups, salads, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, deli sandwiches, yogurt parfaits, fresh vegetable plates, fruit plates, cottage cheese and more. And breakfast is served all day. We have so much leeway and so many choices. Nobody leaves hungry unless by choice."

At Cedarhurst, dining is about more than nutrition. It's about enjoying favorite foods, exploring new flavors, and having the freedom to choose what sounds good today. Because when it comes to dining, choice matters.
