Here at Orchard Creek we believe in providing our residents with top quality care in every aspect, including their meals.  That’s why we’ve hired a top-quality chef to prepare delicious home-style meals for our residents.  Everyday chef Larry Burdek and culinary team prepare three hot meals – breakfast, lunch and dinner for our residents.  Sharing meals has been an important part of our families for generations, and it’s no different here at Orchard Creek.  When residents gather together in our dining room, they’re treated to a sit-down meal that’s served with a smile.  “Putting out a quality meal that our residents can enjoy is my top priority.  My culinary staff and I continually strive to please our residents with diverse menus they can enjoy,” says Chef Burdek.

When he first arrived at Orchard Creek, Chef Burdek mentions that he was surprised not only by the quantity of the food served, but also the quality.  “ I have received compliments from the residents stating that the food here at Orchard Creek is comparable to some of the best restaurants in the area.”  Each Thursday, Chef Burdek prepares a “Chef’s Special” to showcase his culinary expertise.  With a food service budget that’s more that double that of other facilities, we’re able to serve the best.

The tasty delights don’t end when the meal’s finished.  At Orchard Creek we believe every day should be sweet.  Food services include a 1950’s-style ice cream parlor where residents can satisfy their sweet tooth with a milk shake, sundae or banana split.  Bon Appetite!

Sample Menu

Can good food be good for you? At Orchard Creek the answer is yes! Our executive chef and nutrition team work together to create meal plans that not only address the health requirements of our residents, but also offer a delicious variety of foods.

The health and nutrition of our residents is an imoprtant part of everything we do here at Orchard Creek. We have both a Registered Dietician and a Dietary Manager on staff to promote patients’ general health and well-being through the use of nutrition planning and diagnostic assessment.

The nutritional needs of each resident are carefully evaluated so that their individual diet can be planned accordingly. Before a menu can be served in our dining room, it must be approved through a four-step process. Each menu is reviewed and approved by the dietary manager, the nutritionist, the executive director and, finally, the executive chef.
