Partners In Service "Service" has many definitions, but Ceres shares the same definition of service that you do: work done or duty performed for others. We serve you best when we listen well, work as partners, and together build a program that meets the unique needs of your residents. As we all know, quality food service is a key component to resident satisfaction. Ceres understands achieving this goal is a multi-faceted challenge. It requires communication with residents, families, and administration to create a food service program everyone supports enthusiastically ... a program that's right for you. Resident Focus Residents are Ceres' primary customers and we understand the importance of meeting not just their nutritional requirements, but also satisfying their need for food that looks and tastes great. How does Ceres go about this? First of all, we give special attention to the quality of the food used in our menus. Special dietary needs are given our top priority; our dietitians work closely with all involved to create great tasting, nutritious meals. A computerized menu program - GeriMenu7 - aids in the ordering and preparation of meals and provides a customized plan that meets all the various dietary needs of your residents. In addition, our menus feature seasonal items that add variety and increase resident satisfaction. Striking A Balance It's no small task finding a right balance between meeting the needs and desires of your residents and meeting your financial responsibilities. Ceres Food Group can help you achieve both goals - responsiveness to your residents' food service needs coupled with sound fiscal management. Some companies expect you to fit into their "profile" of what your facility requires in the way of food service. Ceres, on the other hand, listens to what your needs are, works with you to tailor a program that meets those needs, and acts as your partner in presenting your residents with the best food service program available--all within your budgetary guidelines. Spectrum of Services Ceres offers a spectrum of services - you choose the services you want. Our goal is to tailor a program that is uniquely yours. To this end, Ceres offers everything from consulting services to complete food service management. We have the staff to support this spectrum of services ... experts in nutrition, food production, operations, purchasing, sanitation, safety, computer programming, accounting, training and staff development. It's a team of dedicated professionals whose goal is to meet your food service needs by being a part of, and a partner with, your organization.
