Discover the Future of Senior Living Dining

A well-executed dining program has evolved to become a cornerstone of resident satisfaction and a critical driver of community success. Prioritizing culinary excellence and innovative service is no longer just an option—it is essential for differentiation and enhancing the quality of life for the residents we serve.

Sponsored by Gordon Food Service, the third annual State of Senior Living Dining report offers a unique, data-driven look at the industry’s most pressing issues, built on insights from long-term care and senior living operators across North America.

  • Navigating persistent cost and staffing pressures.
