At Sagora Senior Living we are constantly creating new experiences to engage our residents and find exciting ways to showcase our amazing communities and how we truly embrace each moment we create together. The most important thing we do at Sagora Senior Living is serve YOU! This is done in many ways, but one of the most exciting is through our culinary program.
At Sagora Senior Living, we believe in a resident-first philosophy that places the needs, preferences, and well-being of our residents at the heart of everything we do. This approach is not just a guiding principle; it’s a way of life for our dedicated team members who find immense joy and satisfaction in serving our senior community.
Resident-First Philosophy
Our resident-first philosophy is more than a slogan—it’s a commitment to creating an environment where residents feel valued, respected, and empowered. We listen to their stories, understand their needs, and tailor our services to enhance their daily lives. From personalized care plans to engaging activities, every aspect of our service is designed with the resident in mind. This dedication to individual care fosters a sense of belonging and community that makes Sagora Senior Living a true home for our residents.
The Rewards of Serving Seniors
There is something profoundly rewarding about serving seniors. Each day, we have the privilege of learning from their life experiences, wisdom, and resilience. Our residents have diverse backgrounds and rich histories, and being a part of their lives allows us to share in their journeys. This mutual exchange of respect and affection creates a fulfilling and dynamic environment for both residents and team members. The smiles, gratitude, and relationships we build are the ultimate rewards for our hard work and dedication.
Culinary Excellence
At Sagora Senior Living, we understand that dining is not just about nutrition; it’s an experience that brings joy and comfort. Our culinary team, led by the exceptional Senior Culinary Director Specialist John Tolbert, takes pride in delivering high-quality, nutritious, and delicious meals. John, along with his talented team of Culinary Director Specialists—Matthew Griffiths, Richard Ayala, and Rusty Crick—crafts menus that cater to the diverse tastes and dietary needs of our residents.
Dining with Grace Program
For our Memory Care residents, dining can sometimes be challenging. That’s why we’ve developed the “Dining with Grace” program, a thoughtful approach that ensures every meal is a dignified and enjoyable experience. This program focuses on creating a calm and supportive dining environment, with specially designed table settings, adaptive utensils, and a menu that caters to their specific needs. The “Dining with Grace” program exemplifies our commitment to enhancing the quality of life for all our residents, particularly those with memory impairments.
The Culinary Team
Our culinary team’s passion for excellence is evident in every meal they prepare. John Tolbert’s leadership has been instrumental in setting high standards and inspiring creativity in the kitchen. Matthew Griffiths, Richard Ayala, and Rusty Crick each bring their unique skills and perspectives, making our dining services exceptional. Their combined expertise ensures that the culinary teams at our communities are well equipped, so our residents enjoy meals that are not only delicious but also nutritious and beautifully presented.
