South Mountain Memory Care in the Allentown and Lehigh Valley community understands the importance of nutritious meals and snacks for the overall well-being of our residents’ health. Our supportive dining approach promotes independence, stability, and comfort. Our attentive Dining Department personalizes the dining experience to each of our residents’ unique requirements. This includes collaboration with our Wellness Department to conduct ongoing assessments to ensure that our residents are eating and drinking appropriately for their changing nutritional needs.
Customized for Memory Care
Routine
South Mountain Memory Care schedules regular mealtimes to promote consistency and stability. This allows our residents to feel more in control and safe.
Choice
We offer two main menu items for every meal. This allows a degree of independence of choice but keeps the selection process from becoming overwhelming. SMMC also provides an “Always Available” menu.
Personalization
We serve in bold, red-colored dishware as a sharp contrast to our plated food items. Studies show that depth and color perception may alter in those who are living with dementia. For those who need extra assistance, adaptive dishware is available.
Seasonal Menus
Our Dining Department uses fresh vegetables and herbs that our residents tend throughout the summer in our Garden Club! We also change our menus seasonally to ensure our residents get all the comforts of the season!
Special Events
Our Dining and Activities Departments collaborate to provide special events for our residents throughout the year! We celebrate various holidays and host themed socials. Be sure to check out our Facebook Page to see photos from these events!
