Our Background

Senior Living Residences is the first assisted living company in the nation to offer the Memory Preservation Nutrition® program, developed by internationally recognized expert Nancy Emerson Lombardo, PhD, adjunct research assistant professor of neurology at the Boston University School of Medicine.   Dr. Emerson Lombardo co-founded the National Alzheimer’s Association in 1980, and has spent much of her career researching the effects of nutrition on the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease.

   

Robert Larkin, president of SLR, is proud of the work that we are doing in the area of nutrition to help seniors in our communities eat diets that are full of disease-fighting antioxidants, nutrients with anti-inflammatory properties, and natural substances that help regulate blood sugar - changes that are important for brain health.  “At SLR, we have a truly holistic approach, aiming to improve our residents’ quality of life on all levels.  Nutrition is just one of our focuses, but an important one.  The feedback we’ve received since implementing the Memory Preservation Nutrition® Program has been ALL positive- anecdotally, families have been telling us they are seeing improvements in the health of their loved ones after moving to one of our communities.”

Spice Advice

Spices are an integral part of our brain-healthy nutrition program. Here are a few we recommend.

Spice of Life

SLR’s Secret Ingredient

“Spice of Life” is a delicious mixture of spices, fruits, and vegetables. Research suggests that our brain and body thrive on variety. Each herb and spice has its own health protecting properties. As part of Senior Living Residences’ innovative nutrition program, all of the ingredients are nutrient rich and potent antioxidants that enhance the body’s natural ability to fight disease.

Cinnamon

A Brain-Healthy Spice, Shake it Everyday!

Cinnamon is a prized nutrient-rich spice in Senior Living Residences innovative nutrition program. Research shows it is effective in regulating blood sugar and reducing cholesterol- both are key for brain and body health. Most people like the taste of cinnamon and enjoy its natural sweetness.

Suggested Use- ¼-1 teaspoon per day, sprinkled on sweet potato, applesauce, cereal, yogurt, toast, in hot drinks like coffee and tea, or on ice cream. Cinnamon is also great to use as a flavor enhancer in sauces, soups, and stews, or as a marinade ingredient in meats.
