It all begins with a warm welcome from our friendly and courteous team of professionally trained culinary experts. On the menu, you will find a variety of enticing selections featuring local flavors and national favorites, all scratch-made whenever possible.

The goal of Inspired Dining is to provide the personalized service our residents deserve and expect by combining creative cuisine, exceptional nutrition, service excellence, and flexibility for residents and guests. We do this because we care. We do this because our residents truly do come first! These key characteristics, along with a dedication to quality and satisfaction, help us create an inviting and enjoyable dining experience for “Moms and Dads” and their families and friends.

No matter the time of day, our chefs are hard at work ensuring residents have access to healthy, delicious food. At breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there’s always a lively social environment to enjoy your meals with.

Chef-Prepared Meals

At Inspired Living, our residents enjoy delicious and nutritious dining options for every meal. We take pride in the quality and freshness of our ingredients, a wide variety of menu options, and attentive table service.

Mouth-watering options range from comfort food to your favorite local dishes, to cuisine from all over the world, all prepared by a professional chef! If you have special dietary requirements, our culinary team will gladly cater to your needs. Many residents enjoy our All-Day Dining menu – for those who prefer to eat on their own schedule.

We know how important an excellent dining experience is for our residents. Good meals with friends and family enhance everyone’s quality of life, so our residents are served three meals a day in well-appointed dining rooms. We also provide bistros with snacks available all day. At Inspired Living, we put a focus on senior nutrition and healthy food offerings while also providing residents independence and choices at mealtime.

Grate Eats

For some of our residents, manual dexterity and other issues make eating with utensils challenging. Our “Grate Eats” program recognizes how important it is to provide options that promote health, dignity, and independence at mealtime. We offer a variety of finger foods, from appetizers to main meals and desserts – so that all of our residents can enjoy their meals and maintain their autonomy.
