FOOD
SERVICE MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
INDEPENDENT/SENIOR
LIVING DINING
I'm Gene Kellogg, president and principal of ECS. When my wife's
parents decided it was time to sell their home and move into an
Independent Living Community in Peoria, Illinois, I was highly
interested in the food aspect of this lifestyle change. They were
and remain discriminating diners ever since I first met them.
Their experiences included restaurants across the US and world
wide, dining on the best cruise lines, pot luck with friends;
and dinner at their house was always superb. So yes, I was very
interested in the food served at their community. So were they!
I made a revealing discovery. The food wasn't as good as the cruise
lines. It wasn't on a par with their favorite restaurants. And
while it was nutritious and tasty, it was not as good as my mother-in-law's
cooking. The real discovery was "that it could be."
While I was with Marriott, we entered the Senior Living market
with a hospitality approach to food as well as lifestyle enhancement
facilities and services. We applied the same standards that we
held our hotels and contract food service operations to. And then
we applied our best management operating and information systems
to Senior Living Food Service. ECS now brings these same best-demonstrated
systems and standards to the Independent and Senior Living market
so that you can offer restaurant and cruise line quality food
and menus within your current budget.
We also visited and studied other independent and senior living
communities and found that dining options and quality range from
"Three Star" to adequate and nutritious. As more and
more discerning couples and singles, and their families consider
this new lifestyle option, more communities and options will emerge.
Food, service, and dining environment will always be three critical
lifestyle attributes that influence the decision of "if"
and "where" a couple chooses to enhance their lifestyle.
ECS can help you gain an edge by turning your dining room and
menus into a lifestyle highlight.
