Elevating Dining Experience at Simpson Services Communities
November 22 2021 - 8:00AM
As dining services at retirement communities continue to evolve to
meet the needs of elders, Sodexo is proud to partner with Simpson
Senior Services Communities to implement creative approaches to
dining services that improve the dining experience, prioritize
safety and foster a heightened sense of community.
As the new food service partner of Simpson Senior Services
Communities, Sodexo will enhance the dining experience by working
hand-in-hand with residents and activities partners to incorporate
both regional and international cuisines in addition to innovative
food services. Residents will also have the opportunity to join a
dining enhancement committee and share direct input on their
preferred food dining experience.
“The goal of this collaborative effort is to be the best
restaurant in town for residents and to allow the culinarians who
are chock-full of creativity to establish a venue that showcases
their talents,” said Gregory Blumenthal, Sodexo District Manager.
“Sodexo is committed to providing the highest quality of food and
offering a wide variety of options to satisfy every palette at
resident sites of Simpson Senior Services.”
Sodexo will provide dining services for more than 700 residents
at Simpson Senior Services Community locations including Simpson at
Simpson House, Simpson at Jenner’s Pond and Simpson at Simpson
Meadows. Operations launching at all three sites on November 19,
2021, include chef centers, themed dinners, dining pop-ups, a Servi
robot and forward-looking innovation calendars to alert residents
of upcoming unique dining experiences.
“Our partnership with Sodexo will allow us to provide the
diversity needed in residents’ lives around food and provide our
residents access to different cuisines from around the world,” said
Carol McKinley, President and CEO at Simpson Senior Services. “We
look forward to enhancing the dining experience at our retirement
communities by providing more value and variety.”
“As seniors explore living facilities, they are demanding
quality food, culinary diversity and a restaurant-style approach to
dining, said Doug Flasher, Chief Operating Officer at Simpson
Senior Services. “Dining is an important part of choosing an
assisted living facility, and we’re proud to offer state of the art
culinary options for every palette.”
New Dining Experiences
Whether craving something comforting or ready to try something
more adventurous, community members will be sure to find it at
Simpson Senior Services dining locations.
- Farm to Table: Exceptional attention to high quality and
freshness, menus feature a robust rotation of seasonal recipes
which include locally sourced produce and ingredients. Scratch
cooking and freshly made soups and sauces on site are consistent
practices.
- Chef Centers: Expert chef talent, who embody an authentic
passion for culinary excellence and a strong commitment to resident
engagement.
- International Cuisine, themed dinners and dining pop-ups:
Culinary teams are creating three month forward-looking innovation
calendars including prime night international cuisine examples such
as Taste of Athens celebrating Greek favorites from the Kalamatas
Culinary Concept, Taste of Italy featuring Semolina’s pasta dishes
and risotto favorites and more. Themed dinners and pop-ups will
also explore America’s diverse regional cuisine such as a classic
New England seafood house and a Louisiana inspired Creole venue.
Sodexo is also planning to purchase, install and activate a hibachi
table.
Servi Robot
The Servi robot uses cameras and laser sensors to carry plates
of food from the kitchen to tables in the dining room. Sodexo
leverages new technologies to facilitate resident ordering and
real-time monitoring of resident satisfaction.
