Senior Living Dining Solutions
Redefining Dining Service
At Genuine Foods, we believe good food does good, especially when it contributes to the health and well-being of individuals in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and senior living centers. Our team of experts takes a comprehensive approach to building whole-person health, starting with the integrity of our ingredients and including responsive, leading-edge service that works to balance the needs of staff and the unique opportunities present in each facility. While we specialize in knowing what works for different populations or conditions, we strive to redefine what meals and meal service can look like by taking our inspiration from the outside in.
FROM THE FACILITY UP
Our partnership with healthcare and senior living programs begins with developing a deep understanding of each community’s unique needs and resources, starting with the facility itself. We understand the importance of aligning resources with those who understand the working of your physical, staff, and resident environment.
WHOLE-PERSON HEALTH
What we eat has a strong impact on our physical and mental health, well-being, and longevity. Every menu showcases high-quality, local, and minimally processed ingredients. Our culinary and nutrition teams design meals that meet all nutrition and dietary requirements for residents and patients, including meals that support memory care, comply with medication-specific diets, as well as in compliance with Medicare and Medicaid.

INGREDIENT INTEGRITY
Ingredient integrity is key to building whole-person health. Knowing where each of our ingredients comes from is the core of a wholesome, scratch-made meal. In every region where we work, we take care to find and work with local farms and small businesses, because food grown or made locally is fresher and of higher quality. Buying locally means we are also less dependent on complicated supply chains.
