Are you famished and ready for a big breakfast when you wake up in the morning – or do you prefer lighter fare such as coffee and a roll? Does an early lunch fit your schedule best or do you look forward to a full-course dinner to share, complete with a glass of wine and friends?
It’s essential to make sure your preferences will be met when considering the features of a senior living community. Because whether it’s the residences, senior living dining programs or the type of activities available, one of the most important qualities that can be offered is – choice.
If you’re looking for the right fit for your lifestyle, Tenfold’s Bruceville Point designed its community to ensure the choices – and there are many – are always up to you.
Senior living dining, the Bruceville Point way
At Bruceville Point, we understand the physical and cognitive health benefits of eating well. Each apartment includes a full-size kitchen for those times when you want to cook or host a special meal. But for the days when you’d like someone else on kitchen duty, take a look at the three venues offered. We think you’ll agree that the hardest decision may be choosing where and what to eat.
- The Bistro: This Italian-style coffeehouse and wine bar is often referred to as Bruceville Point’s town hall. A popular meeting place for our residents, many love to start their day with a morning espresso and pastry. In the afternoon, friends sit on the patio for a light lunch of soup, salad and a panini. This is also where you’ll find our Happy Hours with cocktails, mocktails and complimentary snacks for friends and visitors.
- Stone Lakes Café: No one offers California casual like you’ll find at our cafe. All-day dining is perfect for residents who may stop by with friends after an activity or those who look forward to our seasonally changing menu of comfort food that includes soups, salads, sandwiches, pasta and a daily chef’s special.
- The Cypress Room: As our fine senior living dining choice, the Cypress Room offers a distinctive white tablecloth atmosphere with a seasonally inspired weekly menu featuring local, market-fresh ingredients. Residents love the delicious entrées and sides. And they all recommend leaving room for the tempting desserts.

Senior living dining nourishes bodies and minds
The right foods not only nourish the body but also the mind. As we grow older, it’s essential to recognize the pivotal role healthy senior living dining can play. Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, proteins, dairy and healthy fats can provide the following advantages from eating right:
- Boosted immune function: A diet rich in nutrients fortifies the immune system, helping to fend off illnesses.
- Cognitive clarity: Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids enhance memory and prevent cognitive decline.
- Digestive wellness: A fiber-rich diet ensures smooth digestion and feeling well.
- Sustained energy: Balanced meals supply energy, which is critical for maintaining an active lifestyle.
- Swift recovery: Nutrient-dense foods aid in quicker healing from ailments or procedures.
Obstacles to a healthy senior diet
It’s important to look at your food choices and the number of meals you would consider healthy. As we grow older, it may become more challenging to maintain a healthy diet for several reasons, including:
- Limited mobility: Problems getting to stores can make cooking with fresh, healthy ingredients more difficult.
- Cooking challenges: Physical impairments may make cooking a strenuous, if not impossible, task.
- Complex dietary needs: Medical conditions can necessitate strict dietary controls, complicating meal preparation.
- Isolation: Dining alone can lead to unhealthy meal choices or habits like skipping meals altogether.
Senior living dining lets residents enjoy a delicious and balanced diet
Communities like Bruceville Point offer the benefits of nutritional meals and social interaction with others. Take a look at what you’ll discover:
- Customized meal plans: Meals can be tailored to an individual’s health and preferences, ensuring optimal nutrition.
- Chef-prepared meals: Chef-led culinary teams prepare nutritious and delicious resident favorites.
- Access to nutritious foods: Residents benefit from a supply of fresh, healthy ingredients without grocery shopping.
