ARTFUL Dining is…

PEOPLE
SERVICE
PRIDE

It’s not unusual for us to hear from prospective residents eating has become boring, too much trouble or a chore they avoid. These factors can lead to poor nutrition and a decline in health.

At The Herons of Sarasota, nutrition is a vital component for the community’s wellbeing. Our signature ARTFUL Dining program was created by our management company, SRI Management, specifically to focus on creating a nutritious dining experience while elevating one of life’s most important functions.

Our on-site chefs demand meals be as appetizing to the eyes as to the palate. Our wait staff takes pride in serving happiness, not just food. Our management believes a restaurant-style atmosphere lifts the community’s morale in a way a typical dining hall cannot.

The result is a dining experience unlikely to be found at other senior living communities.

Culinary art is about more than just cooking

OUR CRAFT

The Herons of Sarasota’s chefs pride themselves on beautiful preparation techniques that are savory and healthy. As a result, our community’s residents often experience immediate and direct benefits from this ARTFUL Dining philosophy: Better eating leads to better nutrition, and the outcome is improved overall quality of life.

FRESH

Good food doesn’t have to be
fancy or complicated…fresh
ingredients are the key.

COLORFUL

The color of food, dishes,
table linens and wall color
can all have an effect
on your appetite.

HEALTHFUL

Healthy foods fuel the brain
and body, directly affecting our
mental and physical health
and stability.

VARIETY

Studies have shown that
increasing variety can
increase food intake and
alter energy balance.

SOCIAL

A friendly environment and
stimulating conversation at
mealtime is almost as
important as taste.
