A Delightful Conscientious Dining Experience

At The Residence, we believe in sustaining the rich agricultural heritage of Waldo County and we strive to make good decisions about the impact we have on our environment. We also really care about the quality of food that we offer to our residents! That's why we have become one of the first retirement communities in Maine to sign the innovative 'Healthy Food in Healthcare Pledge'. We've rearranged our food purchasing to include more locally grown and organic meats, produce and dairy products. We are enhancing the nutritional value of the delicious meals for which we have become known, while supporting our own local farmers. This means that while we are making conscious decisions to improve the quality of our community and the community around us, our meals taste even better!

Each dinner menu features a choice of two entrees along with side dishes and tempting, homemade desserts.  Our Dietary Director and her staff are happy to accommodate dietary needs and special requests, including vegetarian diets. She meets with new residents to learn about their likes and dislikes and holds monthly Dietary Meetings, so residents can be involved in the planning too!

In independent living, an evening meal comes with the monthly rent, while in assisted living, you receive three meals per day plus healthy, in-between meal snacks. All of our meals are approved by a licensed dietician.
