Food, glorious food!
All three daily meals at The Home are delicious. Fresh ingredients are carefully prepared by a talented chef and kitchen staff, incorporating residents’ own favorites and occasiionally, even their special recipes. On your birthday, you choose the menu! Invite guests to join you for lunch, dinner or morning and afternoon coffee, which always includes a slice or two of delicious pastry. Often, everyone gathers in the living room for wine and cheese or cocktails.

Monthly dinners combine tasty food and imaginative decorations to create a particular environment – a Scandinavian restuarant, a western dude ranch or a dinner fit for a Prince.
Outstanding flavor and fresh, quality ingredients...
Simply put, great food is really important. Our talented culinary team is committed to providing residents a delicious variety of meals that can be customized to fit their individual palates and dietary needs. Our dining staff is on a friendly, first-name basis with each resident and knows their tastes personally.
In addition to offering enticing menus based on proper nutrition, outstanding flavor and fresh, quality ingredients, The Danish Home does not repeat menus for 10 weeks. What’s more, residents of all care levels dine together in an atmosphere of inclusion and community.
