Good food, good friends, good health ‘on the menu’ at The Buckingham

-

Good nutrition and a healthy diet are important at any age, but for older adults these are important to maintainin­g both physical and mental well-being.

Good nutrition can help prevent diseases such as osteoporos­is, high blood pressure disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.

Research shows that almost 50% of older adults are not meeting their nutritiona­l needs because they do not have access to nutrient-rich foods, or regularly cook healthy meals for themselves.

A focus on local

The Buckingham addresses this issue by providing healthy meal options made from fresh, locally produced ingredient­s.

Whether a formal multicours­e meal in the Windsor dining room, a casual gathering with friends in The Rosewood Grill, or grabbing a quick, fresh bite from the St. James Bistro, The Buckingham offers something for everyone.

The culinary team, led by Executive Chef Steven McCracken, who has won multiple culinary awards and comes from a family of chefs, takes pride in developing menu offerings that delight Buckingham residents’ palates, are healthy and takes into considerat­ion dietary restrictio­ns.
