Nutritious, Delicious Food

At Highgate, we’ve always taken pride in the food we serve and the quality nutrition for seniors we provide.

FIND A COMMUNITY

Made from Scratch Meals that Taste as Good as they Smell.

One of the greatest evolutions taking place in the senior living industry has to do with what’s happening in the kitchen. At Highgate, we’ve always taken pride in the food we serve (and the quality nutrition for seniors we provide), but it continues to get better and better.

Much of the credit goes to Khalid Iraqui, Highgate’s Director of Dining Services. Khalid brings to Highgate over 20 years of experience as a chef at high-end restaurants and hotels. He attended culinary school in Paris and has gained extraordinary skills working all over the world. He came to Highgate because, in his words, “This is where I can actually make a difference.”

When you can breathe in that wonderful aroma of onions, garlic and herbs and see the commotion of chopping, dicing and sautéing, you know the food is made from scratch. Khalid likes to think of it as “organized chaos,” resulting in meals that are nutritious and delicious. But just because we’re health-conscious doesn’t mean we don’t love our desserts. You’ll savor Highgate’s sweet delights, and there’s always a sugar-free choice among them.

Dine on your schedule, not ours.

Choice is a high priority at Highgate. Here, you choose not only what to eat, but when to eat, with all-day, restaurant-style dining from 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. To start your day, choose from a variety of signature breakfasts. Four different items are available for lunch and dinner. In addition, you can dress your own spud at our potato bar. Enjoy afternoon tea, London-style. And sample something deliciously different at our Chef’s Choice, Resident’s Choice, and Team Member’s Choice meals. Choice is what makes Highgate such a choice community!

“I don’t like to talk about why our food is better. I prefer to bring people into our kitchens. You can smell the difference.”
