In assisted living the consultant dietitian usually visits a few times a year, so the menu has to carry the weight in between: recipes staff can follow, diets that match the residents, and paperwork that holds up at inspection. Our residential and assisted living menus are written for that setting, by registered dietitians, and a new four-week cycle arrives each quarter.
Every diet on the menu comes with its recipes and an individual nutritional analysis, and daily cook's menus are included. Recipes are adjusted to your facility size.

Recipes are written for 8 servings and scale to your census. The order guide rounds up to grocery-store package sizes, such as dozens, loaves, 15-oz cans and gallon jugs. The same cook's menu and simple view come with it.

IDDSI
Every menu we write is fully compliant with the IDDSI Framework 2.2. Texture-modified diets are written and labelled by IDDSI level, with drinks by IDDSI thickness level, so the diet order, the menu, the recipe and the tray card all use the same language. More about our IDDSI menus.
Questions
Do you sell menus to facilities outside California?
Yes. Our menus are available to facilities nationwide.
Do the menus meet California's requirements for residential care facilities?
Yes. Residential care facilities for the elderly in California are licensed under Title 22, which sets the food service and menu requirements, and our residential menus are written to those rules rather than adapted from skilled nursing.
Can the menu be customized for our community?
Yes. Choose the standard menu, or ask for a custom menu in your request.
Can the menu cover our residents' special diets?
Yes. Because the menu is customizable, we can account for nearly any therapeutic diet, for nearly any age, medical condition or disease state. Our standard Prader-Willi, PKU and ketogenic menus come at no extra charge. For a menu customized to a resident's condition, list the diet orders in your request or contact us.
