A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE. STAFF IS AWESOME, ROOMS ARE KEPT CLEAN AN LOVELY. HOWEVER THERE IS ONE MAJOR PROBLEM .THE MENU PLANNING FOR ALL THIS COMPANIES COMMUNITIES. IT SEEMS REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATIONS THE MAIN MENU COURSES ARE PLANNED BY SOMEONE SITTING IN A CORPORATE OFFICE WITHOUT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE DIFFERENT TASTES OF OF THE SENIORS IN THE STATE THEY ARE LIVING IN. MY QUESTION IS THIS, WHY CAN'T THE HEAD CHEF DO THE MENU PLANNING? ALSO, SOMEONE SIGNS THE LEASE, WHY NOT HAVE A FORM ASKING THE LIKES AND DISLIKES OF DIFFERENT FOODS.
