Cura “Designs” Hospitality

In addition to providing best-in-class food and customer service to our residents, patients and guests, Cura Hospitality provides consultation services to many of its clients when it’s time to give dining and hospitality areas a facelift.

Sherwood Oaks of Cranberry, Pa., recently partnered with Cura to transform one large dining room into an intimate dining experience with a bistro-like setting and a grab-and-go section that has helped increase revenue.

Now, residents enjoy a wider variety of foods, including freshly baked bread from the bistro. The new café is also handicap accessible, making it easy and convenient for those who want to stop by for a meal. 

For more information about the newly designed Sherwood Oaks, please read “A Tasteful First Impression” featured in the February 2008 issue of McKnight's Long-Term Care News & Assisted Living.
