November 2018

I have a parent living here and hear constant complaints about the food. Hot dogs, bologna sandwiches for supper? Mostly some type of boiled potato or French fry as a side...next to no green or healthy vegetables. This is not a senior nutritious diet! My parent says most of the residents leave most of the food on their plates as it's overcooked, mushy fried. Am looking for another center.
