The Gift Of Stability!

      In the 4+ years I've been an inmate of the OFH very few of the professional staff have left. This stability of excellent staff is a great gift. Friends are ina different OFH, in an affluent neighborhood with no bus access, so securing serving staff is very difficult. Consequently, professional staff have to step in, they burnout and leave. 

    Jim, the food services director here is top notch. He retired after a successful career in commercial food service. He wasn't home long before his wife asked "Don't you have be somewhere?"  That inquiry prompted him to take the position here five years ago when the OFH opened.

   About every three months he offers a gourmet meal. Tonight's the night. The menu for tonight's La Belle Notte Gourmet Dinner: Red & White Wine, Shrimp Arancini, Italian Chopped Salad, Beef Tagliata Steak, and Tiramisu. Now for the funny part; it starts at 4:30.😂 When I asked Jim, "Why so early?" He said "That's when everyone shows up." That's proof that this indeed an Old Folks Home!

Takk for alt,
