Nutrition is an essential part of caring for your loved one and improving their condition and way of life. Our dietary services address the unique nutritional needs of each of our residents - including personalized therapeutic diets to meet special needs. When your loved one comes to stay with us, you can rest assured that they will eat well.

The Basics

Our nutritionists pick vitamin-rich, hearty ingredients to prepare delicious AND healthy meals. Supervised by our Dietary Supervisor, our staff is constantly improving and refreshing our dietary program designed to meet each of our residents’ individual nutritional needs. You can also rest assured that all of our food meets the Recommended Daily Allowance guidelines for Nutrients, in order to help reduce nutritional deficiency.

Good for the Environment

Not only is our food good for our residents, it’s also good for the environment. We purchase most of our produce from local farmers and businesses – providing fresh and delicious food to our residents and saving gasoline and the environment at the same time. 

The Power of Choice

We all have the ability to choose what we eat when we sit down for a meal. At Virgil, we provide alternatives at every meal too, so your loved one can get the nutrients they need while eating the food they want.

More Meals

The fluid requirement of older adults is a minimum of six to eight glasses daily. Without this, many eldery persons would be at serious risk of dehydration. For this reason our dietary services staff provides nutritional supplements, between meals, and snacks to all of our residents.

Korean Cuisine

Virgil is proud to offer true culinary variety. We have a Korean chef on staff available to prepare authentic, wholesome and delicious Korean cuisine for our residents – providing even more variety in our healthful dining options.
