Fine Dining at Senior Living Residences Marlboro
At SLR Marlboro, we know food remains one of the most important things in life as we age. We’ve designed a dining experience with this in mind.
- Our Dining Room is set up like a true restaurant, with menus, table seating and formal wait staff service.
- Our menu features dishes inspired by the Mediterranean diet, which is continually proven to boost brain and whole body health, with an emphasis on locally-sourced produce.
- We also have an always-available menu of sandwiches, salads and other offerings so residents can order whatever they want — like a true restaurant!
- Residents can eat when they like, with all-day dining (7am-6pm) and open seating
Brain Healthy Cooking Program: Mediterranean Diet Adapted for Seniors
A multitude of scientific research shows a clear connection between specific foods and overall brain health, which is what led Senior Living Residences to develop our award-winning Brain Healthy Cooking program. This program is designed to boost brain health, heart health, and provide the body with antioxidants and nutrients with anti-inflammatory properties. While this program is inspired by the Mediterranean Diet, it is adapted with seniors’ preferences and palates in mind. Does Mom or Dad love cheesesteaks and ice cream? We can swap out a few ingredients to make it lower in sodium, saturated trans fats and add fruits and vegetables while keeping the same delicious taste.
Flexible Dining Experience Meets YOUR Needs
At SLR Marlboro, it’s important to us that residents maintain their independence, especially when it comes to their dining experience. Unique features of our dining program include:
- All-Day Dining: Marlboro’s dining room is open every day from 7am – 6pm
- Always Available Menu: While we have featured dishes at each meal that are inspired by the Mediterranean diet, we also offer a selection of sandwiches, salads and grill options that residents can order anytime
- Restaurant-style experience: We encourage residents to socialize and make each meal a celebration
Benefits of All-Day Dining:
- Residents maintain their independence
- Caters to our residents’ diverse needs, allowing them to enjoy meal times that suit their schedule
- Reduces anxiety around missing meal times for doctor’s appointments
- While we encourage staying social, some residents prefer to have a quieter meal and choose where to sit
Fishing For Freshness: Local Seafood Partnership
Just like with our produce, we center our menus around what is local and in-season around our community. SLR Marlboro is located on the Jersey coast, making for an excellent range of seafood options for our residents. Fresh fish is a staple of the Mediterranean diet, providing plenty of nutrients and lean protein while boosting brain health. We are proud to serve it to our residents 9-12 times per week through our partnership with Krystal Fruits and Vegetables, which is unheard of in assisted living.
