Whitsons Residential Dining serves a wide range of clients in various residential settings, including assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, continuing care retirement communities and hospice centers. Owned and operated by the Whitcomb family since 1979, Whitsons has grown to become the 16th largest onsite dining service provider in the United States (Food Management magazine, September 2011). We offer the perfect blend of family values and vast resources, providing you with the highest quality individualized service, supported directly by our company owners, executive team and corporate service staff.

We provide a full complement of senior dining services under three key areas of distinction: people, food and communications. This organizational philosophy enables us to fulfill our mission of enhancing life one meal at a time.

Whitsons is committed to providing wholesome, high quality menus, made from locally sourced ingredients whenever available and in season. We prepare our menu items fresh from scratch daily, cooking directly on site at your facility. We utilize time-tested recipes developed by our research chefs and customize our menus based on your specific dietary requirements. We can provide a wide range of therapeutic menus, which are nutrient analyzed and reviewed by our team of nutritionists and R.D.s.

We appreciate that food often represents more than simply nourishment for our customers. That is why, in addition to our focus on nutritionally balanced and delicious menu options, we also place great importance on changing menus seasonally and regularly offering themed meals and holiday menu specials to add excitement and interest to our dining programs. We want to weave our dining services into the fabric of your community and become a significant source of enjoyment for your residents.

Our communications ensure that we are delivering on our promises and keeping the information exchange open. We listen to you, learn about your immediate needs and long-range goals and lead through innovation. Our recipe for success:

• Thorough transition plan with clear communications between all parties
• Ongoing involvement of company owners and our executive team
• Collaboration between our culinary and dietetic staff to develop customized menus tailored to your customers’ nutrition needs and taste preferences
• Active engagement between onsite staff and customers to communicate feedback and continuously enhance the dining program

• Benchmarking and continuous improvement plans

These tools enable us to provide you with a total picture of how we are performing for you and give us the feedback we need to exceed your expectations. People, Food and Communications…delivering our promise.
