Dietary Services
The Dietary Services Department at the Allied Services Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center prides itself on providing nutritionally balanced meals that appeal to the diverse needs of our residents. Upon admission, every resident receives a nutritional assessment by the Dietician to establish dietary needs and meal preferences. To help ensure resident satisfaction, the Department has a Food Committee that residents may serve on to exchange menu item ideas and to help keep the menus new and fresh.

Once a year the Dietary Department has a food show. Vendors come to the show to let residents and staff sample new food selections. The Registered Dietician gets feedback from residents about which of the new foods are their favorites. There are also smaller events throughout the year, like coffee tastings, so residents can continue to give feedback to the staff about what food and beverages they like best.
