Five Star Dining Program

Bloom offers its signature Five Star Dining Program administered by our professionally trained Culinary Team. We recognize that fine dining and diet is one of the most important aspects of a senior’s life. Mealtime is often considered the most anticipated event of the day.

Our talented Executive Chefs make delicious and nutritious home-cooked meals from scratch every day for our residents using only the freshest, high-quality seasonal ingredients. Recognizing that aging can impact our taste buds and sense of smell, our culinary experts select ingredients and flavors that are tasty and smell delicious. In collaboration with our Registered Dieticians, we incorporate resident’s personal recipes, special requests, old time favorites and dietary needs, so our multi-course gourmet menus are customized with their health, personal tastes and preferences in mind. We are consistently introducing exciting new cuisines, including Bloom’s staple family recipes, for the community to enjoy. With a rich assortment of menu options at every meal, our residents are always satisfied.

Residents enjoy comfortable restaurant-style dining in our elegantly appointed dining rooms. All meals are served by our dedicated, friendly wait staff. Just as dinner tables had been the center of family gatherings throughout the years, our residents continue that tradition by sharing stories with friends and neighbors about their busy and exciting lives within the community.

In addition to traditional dining, our residents enjoy casual al fresco dining, picnics, barbeques and themed food nights with family and friends. When residents want to relax in the comfort of their own apartment, we offer room service. Or, if residents are jetting off to an activity, casual take-out or “to-go” snack service is available. The intimate, private dining room with in-house catering can be reserved to celebrate a special event. Anytime snacks and beverages are always on hand in our cafés, casual pubs or ice cream parlors.

Our renowned team of culinary professionals have spent decades serving seniors. They are uniquely prepared to address any accommodation, are properly certified and have won numerous world-class dining awards and distinctions. Having been specially trained to meet Bloom’s high dining standards of food and service based upon continued investment and research in culinary systems, the Culinary Team uses cutting edge techniques to enhance our residents’ dining experiences.
