Dietary

The dietary Department at KCH is staffed with a Certified Dietary Manager (under the direction of a registered dietician), and highly qualified caring staff. The Food Service staff provides a personal touch while maintaining a high standard of excellence in meeting the individual needs of our residents. Our goal is to identify nutritional problems and develop a nutritional plan of care that ensures the residents’ needs are met and that their independence in eating is maintained.

Our Food Service Department not only provides three well-balanced meals, we offer All Day Specials and provide a Selective Menu. All meals are prepared according to regulations and standards, and offer many choices for our residents daily. Hydration and snacks are available at all times. We believe that food is far more than a mere life-sustaining supplement. It provides security, comfort and memories of family times.

All resident are encouraged to come to the dining room to enhance their dining and socialization experience. Mealtime prayer is always offered. Residents needing assistance at meals are given individualized attention while residents who are unable to come to the dining room are served in their rooms. Family and friends are encouraged to eat with their loved ones, either to assist with eating or to keep them company during the meal.

The Grace Moore Room, when not in use for business, may be reserved for private family gatherings and groups. The room is available on a first-come, first-serve basis, and may be reserved by contacting the receptionist as far in advance as possible. Special seating may also be arranged for other areas where residents may dine with their guests.

Bon Appétit!
