Dining Changes Enhance Homestead Village

Newly installed artwork and pendant lights accentuate the popular booths.
Enhanced senior living took a bold step forward with the reopening of the Homestead Dining Room on December 18, 2013.  After many years of casual dining, Homestead Village has created a dining experience that is the best of both worlds - both informal and causal as well as formal.  Each day begins with our outstanding breakfast offerings.  Seat yourself and our friendly servers take your order and bring you one of our many made to order breakfast offerings.

The new lunch time experience features a bright and pleasant food court with choices of chef-prepared made-to-order specials, made to order deli sandwiches, hot entrees and a fantastic salad bar.  Lunch at Homestead is casual; but the food selections are wonderful.  Of special note is the delicious and healthy salad bar.  Efforts have been made to focus on more fresh vegetables and fresh fruit as well as other healthy toppings.  The salad bar will continue to transform into the healthy option our residents, staff  and visitors want.  The chef's action station features a different entree every day.  You choose the ingredients and our staff prepare it before your eyes.

Between lunch and dinner, the dining room is transformed with table cloths and the addition of eight servers, smartly dressed and ready to provide you with a quality dining experience.  Our hostess will seat you and our servers are excited to make your evening meal special.  On Sundays, brunch is a special experience with all you can eat or a la carte choices.  The Sunday Brunch takes advantage of the expanded food court to offer wonderful brunch choices and more actions stations for waffles, omelettes and other specialties.
Some of Homestead's many friendly servers at your service!

Our goal with the new dining room service is to provide the highest quality dining experience for each of the desired dining options.  In addition to the expanded, spacious food court, the dining room has been redesigned to offer a more pleasant dining experience.  The addition of booths and brand new chairs, along with beautiful window treatments result in a beautiful room for dining.  In the near future, a canopy over the sun room will greatly improve the sun room dining experience as well.

Another wonderful benefit of the new dining services is the expanded space allows for improved accessibility for residents with mobility devices.  While motorized scooters must still be parked in the lobby, residents with walkers and wheelchairs have greatly improved accessibility.  Another accessibility improvement is the expanded wait staff, allowing for a greatly improved dining experience for all residents who benefit from assistance in the dining room.
