Veggie Options in Senior Independent Living, Assisted Living, Nursing Home, and Other Senior Facilities in the USA
The Vegetarian Resource Group has compiled a list of Senior Independent Living, Assisted Living, Nursing Home, and Other Senior Facilities in the USA that will accommodate vegetarians and in some cases vegans. This is a work in progress and if you know of any establishments that should be added to this list, please let us know. Our goal in this project is to persuade senior establishments to offer more vegan options on a regular basis. Sometimes by just asking you put the thought on their radar. We were successful in doing the same thing 15 years ago when we urged college campuses to do the same thing.
Below are two recent additions to our list. You can find the entire list here: https://www.vrg.org/seniors/senior_vegan.php
AdventHealth Care Center Orlando North
730 Courtland Street
Orlando, FL 32804
(407) 975-3800
Nursing Home, Rehab
This facility serves vegetarian meals to all of the
residents about once a month. When a resident is vegetarian, they try their best
to accommodate. Food examples: hummus, beans, vegetable wraps, a cottage cheese
fruit plate, chef’s salad w/o meat, meatless crumble, meatless chicken nuggets,
veggie burgers, and black bean burgers. They are willing to accommodate vegans.
CherryWood Village
1417 SE 107th Ave
Portland, OR 97216
(503) 408-0404
Retirement Community
Serves three options for each meal, and one option is
always vegetarian. They can make vegan items with some substitutions, but it is
not already vegan. There is good communication between the residents and the
kitchen about what is in the food, and the residents can always ask for
ingredients that are in items. Example foods: black bean burgers (with or
without cheese), avocado toast (with or without egg), burritos, and vegan
gluten-free bread.
