Consider a hearty entree of turkey with gravy, herbed stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and green beans – exactly the kind of sumptuous mealtime offering marketing studies have shown greatly increases resident satisfaction and drives higher occupancy in senior living communities.

​

But what about those with cognitive, coordination, muscular and other disorders that make using the utensils for this kind of menu item difficult or impossible? To serve these residents the same meal, they’ll need personal assistance. Or they’ll have to settle for unsatisfying, pre-packaged finger food.

 

Grind Dining™ changes that.

 

We start by using our “patent-pending” process of grinding the cooked foods on that day’s menu in a way that retains their taste, texture and flavor. We train your staff to present the same meal in an alternative way, so that impaired residents are able to feed themselves without assistance.

​

The Grind Dining™ Method presents these transformed menu items in a visually pleasing manner and is as fully nutritious and as easy to digest as the same offerings on the regular menu, but without the need for utensils. In short, we make finger foods that actually taste good and that you would proudly serve to all your residents.

​

More importantly, Grind Dining™ creates a sense of inclusion for mentally- and physically-challenged residents – as well as the families who come to visit them – by allowing these important residents of your facility to enjoy the same delicious food your staff is serving to the rest of the community.
