We need to provide those small special touches that are so important to our guests. We cater to their individual wants, and source the best and freshest ingredients for them. We are here for them – 24/7.”
Executive Chef Derrick Henry notes: “We serve between 700 and 800 meals per day in our four different restaurants, including lunch and dinner for our Park Springs members as well as for the residents at our Cobblestone Health Center. Every day, I am so proud of our top quality meals and our top quality Food Service staff!”
