Make the event special for your team, too
At large events like the Presbyterian Association of Homes and Services for the Aging Conference, John Andrews, division director of culinary and nutrition services for Ohio Living, asks chefs from various communities across the senior living network to come together. “We'll have a service and decor team, reception team, appetizer team, hot food team, cold food team, dessert team and more,” he says. “Each team will develop their menu, and we meet to pull it all together.”
Combining the talents from all of its communities helps bring the Ohio Living team closer and takes some of the work load away from the host community, he adds. The PAHSA Conference included a brunch, reception, five-course dinner and dessert.
