Protein on the Plate
Protein on the Plate
What's the purpose
Our "Protein on the Plate" initiative is a key part of our Health Program, ensuring seniors get meals that are nutritious and tailored to their health needs. As dietary requirements change with age, we focus on boosting protein intake while cutting down on sugar, salt, and soy. Our team of nutritionists and chefs, specializing in the dietary needs of older adults, works closely with doctors to create meals that help maintain a healthy weight and enhance overall well-being.
Customized Meal Planning
Each meal is an opportunity to nourish the body precisely where it's needed most, reinforcing strength and vitality in our senior community.
In partnership with medical professionals and culinary experts, we tailor each meal to enhance the nutritional profile essential for seniors. Our program not only addresses the need for increased protein but also caters to dietary restrictions and preferences, ensuring a balanced approach to healthy aging.
