We Take Care of the Cooking
Residents at Elison Independent Living of Orchard Glen can sit back, relax, and let us take care of the cooking. We are a resident-first community with a dedicated culinary team taking care of everything in the kitchen to prepare three delicious meals every day.
Only the Best Culinary Experiences
We do more than satiate our residents’ hunger. We prepare delicious, nutritious, and visually appealing meals we know our residents will look forward to. Our culinary team is also dedicated to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and transforming them into exciting meals every day.
Welcoming Nostalgia to Meal Times
Do you have a favorite pie recipe your mother used to make? Perhaps you know there’s no better recipe out there than the one you used for your special chicken fried steak.
We love learning all about our residents’ heritage and cooking backgrounds. We regularly involve our residents in meal times and prepare meals that taste like home. There’s always food to excite and wow the senses in our community.
Choose How You Dine
Most Elison Independent Living of Orchard Glen residents join us daily for delicious chef-prepared meals. We love seeing our residents’ smiling faces as they enter our shared dining spaces. However, we are also about freedom of choice.
Our Independent Living residents can also dine with their families, prepare snacks in their kitchenettes, or dine out in Orchard Park as a treat. We sometimes even have special food-related events in our community. Our residents are always free to choose how they wish to enjoy meals and snacks in our community.
Daily Meal Structure
Our residents lead individual lives, where they often have busy social schedules. We make it easy for them to never miss meal times by serving our delicious meals at the same time every day. Residents always know when to meet us in our dining spaces.

Sit, Chat, and Eat
While meal times at Elison Independent Living of Orchard Glen are about enjoying delicious food, they are also social occasions. We know how hard it can be to make new friends, so we encourage our residents to sit, chat, and eat so everyone can get to know each other and form long-lasting friendships.
With three chef-prepared meals every day, there are plenty of opportunities for new friendships to blossom!
Enjoy Restaurant-Style Dining
Our residents don’t have to visit local restaurants in Orchard Park to enjoy restaurant-style dining. We provide that very experience right here at Elison Independent Living of Orchard Glen.
Our dining rooms are designed to mimic traditional restaurants with comfortable dining tables and chair sets. We also offer table service and take care of the washing up. Our residents enjoy the full experience!
