At Heights Crossing we offer residents a full restaurant-style dining experience with uniformed waitstaff and lots of menu choices. Our kitchen is run by the talented Chef Bras who designs his own menu every day — it is not handed down from a corporate office. You can often see him in the Dining Room chatting with residents to get their feedback. His daily menus include their specific requests, regional favorites, and foods from the culinary ethnic and religious traditions of our residents. He’s also got a special talent for making art out of fruit for our special community events! Chef Bras and the Dining team happily make all of our main dishes and soups from scratch each day.

Daily menu selections include dishes at every meal inspired by our Brain Healthy Cooking Program. Based on the Mediterranean diet and featuring wholesome, brain-boosting ingredients like fresh fish, dark berries, olive oil, and leafy greens, this award-winning program uses nutrition to help to regulate blood sugar and provide the body with antioxidants and nutrients that are essential to brain health.

The well-studied Mediterranean diet has been scientifically proven to have additional outstanding health benefits:

• May help prevent heart disease, like stroke, heart attack and high blood pressure
• Better memory, executive function and slower rates of cognitive decline
• Reduced risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia
• Great for seniors managing diabetes
