About Brookdale Senior Living

Brookdale Senior Living offers multiple care levels for seniors in more than 600 communities nationwide. Brookdale helps you find the right care plan for yourself or your loved one. With amenities such as transportation services, salons and private dining rooms and activities such as gardening, fitness classes and trivia nights Brookdale caters to a wide range of interests and needs.

Brookdale’s vice president of dining services, Marjan Kodric, recently spoke to Senior Housing News about emerging dining trends, culinary creativity and the use of texture-modified foods in memory care communities. Read the full interview or listen to the podcast here.

Kodric, who has been with Brookdale since 1997, has seen many changes in the way senior living communities prepare, serve and view food. Residents at Brookdale communities are routinely surveyed and express high satisfaction with their dining experience. The variety of the selection and inclusion of healthy eating options is rated high in survey results.

“We’re pleased that residents recognize the excellence and quality of the dining experiences in their communities and applaud the associates for maintaining and excelling the standards we have in place,” said Kodric.

You can get a better sense of what’s going on inside Brookdale’s kitchens by watching a short video about one of our chefs, Rodney Scott.

Potential residents are encouraged to visit Brookdale communities and enjoy a meal. Our chefs take pride in delivering flavorful, fresh foods from menus specially created to ensure older adults are getting the nutrition they need.
