Have less salt in the food. Post meals all the time. They serve too much cheese.
Hotter food. It's always cold and sugar free items.
How the vegetables are cooked.
Make some of the food a little different because I can't eat nuts, coconuts, tomatoes, so I would like them to use tomato juice, fruit salad w/no coconut.
Need less soup served, as it is hard for the seniors to eat and is very messy.
Need more servers for meals. Longer meal time (45 minutes).
Provide less salty meals. Focus on healthy food for seniors.
Serve good foods.
Variety in meals - same thing every month. It just repeats.
