SRI Management has been operating senior housing communities for almost two decades, and has gained valuable insight into the programs and activities that enhance and extend the lives of today’s seniors. As a result, it’s not unusual for us to hear from prospective residents that eating has become boring, too much trouble and a chore they avoid when possible. What happens? Reduction in the number of daily meals. Supplements versus eating real food. Loss of weight. A decline in health. Because nutrition is vital, SRI created our signature “ARTFUL Dining” program and implements it in each community, to re-inspire value in one of life’s most important functions – dining.

While the concept may be executed in different ways from community to community, ARTFUL Dining happens when talent and passion merge. Wait staff take pride in serving happiness, not just food. Chefs who demand that meals be as tasty to the eyes as to the palate. Management that believes a dining atmosphere elevates the morale of patrons and staff in a way that atypical  dining hall cannot. The result is a dining experience unlikely to be found at other senior living communities – and that’s artful!
