Culinary experience at Cascade Park Vista Assisted Living in Tacoma, Washington

Culinary Experience

For many of us, the kitchen was the center of a home. Mom’s fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, snack times with friends, and fresh fruit on the countertop for a passing snack. The smell of freshly baked bread wafting throughout the house, anticipating the oven opening to take that very first bite. Or maybe it was teriyaki take-out with a glass of wine, surrounded by laughter.

We are redesigning our culinary experience at the Vista to reflect connections, relationships, and love.

Dining Service

Your service is provided by many high school young adults, as we are dedicated to training up the next generation of workers in a safe mentorship environment. The high schoolers enjoy learning, serving, and connecting with our residents, and help foster our expanding inter-generational model. As our current high schoolers head out for their next adventure, fresh faces enter for a nice rotation of personalities and interests.

Don’t worry if you miss a meal due to a medical appointment. Our team will ensure a pack lunch is made with advance notice, or, when you get back – pop in for a quick bite.

Our Chef hosts a monthly open forum to receive feedback, recipes, and recommendations on what to put on next month’s menu. Check the activity calendar for the next upcoming forum. In between serving times, our Chef makes the rounds in the dining room to check in on you. How is the food? Do you need a coffee refill? Do you need a listening friend? We are there for you; breaking bread with you on a daily basis.
