The Culinary Coach team is one phone call away!
Culinary Coach at 3rdPlus was born out of the need for senior living and aging services companies to have direct access to experts in the culinary field.
Our goal is to help you deliver delicious and aesthetically pleasing dining experiences to senior living residents, including independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing. We do that by supporting YOU. We understand the complexities of delivering hospitality and health services at the same time. Combined with the complexities of workforce issues, it’s a tall order.
Lean on us.
Whether you need an evaluation, some hourly consulting or retainer, we are here!
Dining on call: hourly consulting.
If you’ve got a burning question or a specific challenge to address, set up a 30-minute meeting and we will hop on a call (or a plane) to help you.
Dining Contractor Challenges
Sometimes, communities locked into a dining contract struggle to monitor their performance. We’re here to help you navigate your contract, as well as measure what is happening in your dining program and make recommendations for how to move forward.

Development begins with a visit to your community and a conversation with leadership, dining management and residents to decide the scope of offer.

The key components to successful self-operating are a fully engaged leadership team in alignment with the human resources department to attract, hire and retain qualified dining professionals. We help ensure residents are actively involved to achieve the highest satisfaction rating.
