Menus
created to meet the needs of an aging palate

Vi and Classic Residence communities provide a world-class dining experience that approaches better health through delicious cuisine. Each meal is served in well-appointed restaurant-style venues. The company's leading-edge culinary program is driven by our executive and pastry chefs, who receive specialized training at The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in nutrition, healthy cooking and baking techniques, flavor dynamics, and food and wine pairing.

Wellness

Vi is committed to each resident's whole-person wellness, which includes extensive physical, social, and intellectual programming in an environment that provides rich opportunities for residents to positively impact their wellness and successful aging.

Resident Satisfaction

The company's main priority at all times is the well being of our residents. Because resident satisfaction is a key measure of our success, Vi actively researches and listens to the evolving needs of residents and prospective residents. Feedback also is received through resident surveys, resident committees, town hall meetings, focus groups, and the "open door" policy of our executive directors at the community level.
