Five of our Assisted Living Comunities in Colorado are starting a new partnership with Grove Menus dynamic online menu system.
According to Grove…
“Getting the proper nutrition for your residents is very important to maintaining their quality of life. Many menu systems sacrifice nutrition too quickly. We are committed to doing all we to can protect the nutritional quality and personal health benefits that are inherent in the right balance of foods. We look for recipes that meet the balance of good taste and good health.”
We are looking forward to improving our services while offering better nutrition and a healthy balance of foods to our residents.
National Nutrition Month® is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.

SHO staff from across Colorado will participate and continue efforts to improve and enhance our current emergency operations. For the last year, dedicated staff have been working on revising local plans to help prepare for emergencies through our SHO Emergency Operations Planning (EOP) Workgroup. Monies from our annual fundraiser last year have also helped us start to develop our resident emergency “go kits”. This is a work in progress but we are headed in the right direction.
