Prioritizing Freshness and Flavor
We want our residents to look forward to meal times in our community. That’s why we prioritize freshness and flavor in all meals we create. We source fresh ingredients locally and transform them into delectable dishes every day of the week.
On-Site Culinary Team
We’re proud to have a dedicated on-site team of cooks who prepare our meals in-house to be served fresh to our residents in our shared dining spaces. Our chefs work hard every day to ensure mealtimes are a memorable experience at The Veraden Senior Living.

Getting Our Residents Involved
While our culinary team plans some incredible menus for our residents that certainly have the ‘wow’ factor, we also love it when our residents get involved in meal planning. When they have special recipes and family favorites, we do our best to showcase them on the menu!
Whether it’s a great-grandmother’s famous salad dressing or a mother’s lasagna dish, we do our best to help our residents enjoy food that tastes like home.
Memory Care Dining Program
Our Memory Care residents are encouraged to participate in our Sagora Pathways dining program – Dining with G.R.A.C.E: great food, respect, atmosphere, chef-prepared, every meal every day.
Our dining program is designed to cater to our residents living with dementia who may struggle with meal times and eating. Alongside preparing three meals and serving snacks and beverages, we take special actions to reduce stress and increase comfort.
We engage our residents in conversation, provide visual menus from which to choose their meals, and serve food in our comfortable and calming dining spaces with soft lighting and music. Our goal is to make meal times positive and stress-free.
Dining Choices
We like to give our residents options. Seniors joining us in Independent Living can enjoy daily continental breakfast with us and can then choose whether to join us for lunch or dinner. This gives them the flexibility to plan their days and have their own social schedules.
What’s On the Menu?
Every day is an opportunity for our residents to enjoy something new, tasty, fresh, and balanced. We love getting creative and trying different things. Here are just a few of the many meals and snacks we like to serve:
Omelet with bacon
Tomato soup with grilled cheese
Apple pie
Vegetables and dip
Dine In
Memory Care, Assisted Living, and Independent Living residents at The Veraden Senior Living all dine in with us. We have a beautiful dining room for residents to eat together, chat, and socialize. We also have a private dining room so residents can enjoy family get-togethers.
We make it easy for our residents to have positive and memorable dining experiences in our community every day.
Dine Out
When our residents want a change of scenery, they love dining out in our local community. Alongside scheduled bus trips into the city to enjoy meals, some of our residents also plan their own social get-togethers.
There are many wonderful eateries to visit in and around Edmond, Oklahoma, like Mirchi Joint, Ted’s Café Escondido, Boulevard Steakhouse, and Billy Sims BBQ.
