NEW COMMUNITY NURSING HOME RESIDENTS TO TASTE-TEST FOOD ITEMS THEY DESIRE ON THEIR MENU
Leg of lamb with mint jelly. Chicken Jambalaya. Home made Peach Cobbler. These may not sound like dishes you would find on a typical nursing home menu, but residents of a Newark nursing home will be sampling more than 20 different dishes they have asked to be incorporated into their regular menu during a special Taste-Testing event on Thursday, Oct. 14th at 2:30 p.m.
Residents of New Community’s Extended Care Center, a 180-bed skilled nursing home and rehab facility located at 266 South Orange Ave., will be taste-testing more than 20 different dishes during the special event. Already, the facility offers a wide range of menu choices, from baked salmon to traditional “soul food,” but residents have indicated they are seeking an even wider variety of dishes, with enhanced flavor, on a regular basis.
Of course, restrictions in areas such as sodium content will still be followed, but a wide array of spices will be used to make the dining experience more of a culinary adventure, said Betty Lawson, administrator of the Extended Care Center. Students from the New Community School of Culinary Arts are teaming up with the chefs from the Extended Care Center to create the menu for Thursday’s Taste-Testing event.
“We are a facility that seeks inputs from our residents on everything we do. This is their home and we want mealtime to be something they look forward to and savor afterwards,” Lawson said.
The chefs will use feedback from the Taste-Testing event to incorporate new menu items, Lawson said.
New Community Corporation is recognized as the largest non-profit community development agency in the country. It provides services in four basic areas: housing, health care, job training and education. Founded in 1968 after the Newark riots, New Community’s mission is to help community residents improve the quality of their lives to reflect individual God-given dignity and personal achievement.
