1 A Taste of Eskaton One of the many benefits of moving into a senior living community with dining included is not having to cook, do dishes, or worry about what nutritious foods you should be eating. Yet, you may wonder: What food is served? Is there much variety? Will I even like it? At Eskaton, we have top quality chefs and expert dietitians who work together to provide our residents gourmet entrées, fresh seasonal produce, special treats made from scratch, and daily variety to satisfy even the most sophisticated taste buds. Nutritious and delicious is how we describe our fine dining. Experience what it s like having us cook for you. Check out the following resident favorites. Enjoy a Taste of Eskaton!

2 Eskaton Village Grass Valley The Salad Bar It s prepped fresh twice a day with top quality produce, protein, condiments, and more. There s lots of variety and seasonally fresh items throughout the year. A salad can be a super-healthy meal complete with several servings of vegetables, protein, and numerous essential nutrients. Stay Hydrated. Pay attention to how much water you drink daily and realize that certain medications can dehydrate or make you unaware of thirst. Every cell, tissue, and organ in your body needs water to work properly, so keep a water bottle with you all day.

3 Eskaton Village Roseville The Chicken Adobo This Filipino-inspired chicken entrée is seasoned with a garlicky sauce and served over a bed of white rice. It s a favorite of our residents. In fact, we have a resident food committee at each community that meets monthly to give us feedback and suggestions on what they like and what they don t like. Eat a Variety Foods. No single food can supply all the nutrients your body needs. For example, oranges provide vitamin C but no vitamin B12; cheese provides vitamin B12 but no vitamin C. Vary the foods you eat to help your body get the nutrients it needs.

4 Eskaton Lodge Granite Bay Grilled Salmon, with a Milkshake Expand your palate! At Eskaton Lodge Granite Bay, we have all-day dining from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Our chef and dietitian ensure we offer nutritious and delicious variety, but you choose what and when you want to eat. So, why not salmon and a milkshake? Both are top picks at the Lodge restaurant. Practice Portion Control. Too much or too little neither is good for you. Your diet and nutritional needs change as you age, and healthy eating becomes more important than ever. Know how many calories you need and what a proper portion size is for you.

5 Eskaton Village Placerville Shrimp Salad on a Croissant It s definitely not the same ole chicken salad. Plump shrimp with crunchy veggies in a creamy sauce make this sandwich a light, yet extremely tasty, hit. It s even better when served at the Eskaton Village Placerville restaurant where you can enjoy a beautiful countryside view with scenic ridges and maybe even a few deer strolling by. Listen to Your Body. When you re fueled well, you run well. Research proves healthy foods make you feel good, while those processed counterparts leave you sluggish. For example, regular fish intake keeps you energized and is linked with lower risk of depression.

6 Eskaton Monroe Lodge The Grasshopper Brownie Elegant and delicious, the brownie is a specialty treat at Eskaton Monroe Lodge. Our head chef owned his own French restaurant before retiring and joining the Eskaton Monroe Lodge team. He makes 90% of everything from scratch. Just wait until you taste his sauces. Bon appétit! Dine with Friends. As you age, you are more at risk to become isolated and even depressed. Make meal time not only about eating healthy, but also about being good for you socially and emotionally. Sharing a meal with others is a great way to make connections and new friendships.

7 Eskaton Village Carmichael The Sunday Brunch A buffet of waffles, fresh fruit, sausage, buttermilk biscuits and gravy. And lots more! The Sunday brunch is the place to be every Sunday and every holiday at Eskaton Village Carmichael. Children, grandchildren, and friends stop by to enjoy a pancake or two and a nice Sunday visit with their loved ones. Get Ample Calcium & Vitamin D. Calcium and vitamin D are your best friends when it comes to keeping your heart, muscles, and nerves functioning properly. How much you need depends on your age and gender, but note that women typically need more than men, and we all need more as we age.
