This is way beyond the quality the average American eats...

I am also a Chef at a retirement home in the States. This album inspired me to post one as well. Hopefully mine changes your opinion a tad?
strakur
Thank you for caring so much for these people. I'm a pretty cold hearted bastard but this post brought tears to my eyes. You're an angel.
thevortexmaster
Hahaha thanks!

Those are some damn fine meals! Better than I was fed in all my public schooling career.

It's 10 pm, and now I'm starving for half of this shit. I dislike you, but +1 for feeding old people real food.

My grandma would take two bites from these and throw the rest away.

I love senior citizens. The elderly are some of the wisest, honest, most insightful people on this planet, and thank you for doing what u do

Good job @OP I wish we had more people like you that actually care about giving seniors good meals

thevortexmaster
Hahaha I'm Canadian

Sadly that makes sense. I worked in the States med transportation between nursing homes. Only saw this quality in SUPER high income places.

Don't you ruin this for me with your facts.

Hahaha sorry

Yeah but where are the two cups of juice?

Scrolled down here to assure someone commented exactly this. Was not disappointed. +1 haha

OP doesn't work at a rehab
mourninglori
Duece juice stays in a nursing home, not a rehab.
thevortexmaster
I put juice out on the counter. They can have 3 glasses if they want!

THIS COMMENT.

Can I have the address? I won't feel that guilty sending,my mom there.
thevortexmaster
You can pm me for it. I'm in Canada
ebifa
You could maybe wait until she's retired, though.
occupiedkeyboard
Thank you for treating your clients like people. Meals are some of the only joys these people get.
DeliberateMisinterpretation
I didn't see any fucking bacon, you monster. Abusing the elderly like that...
thevortexmaster
Hahaha I serve that when I do breakfasts
DeliberateMisinterpretation
In all seriousness, that food looks great... I bet you even bake the bacon for breakfast. I'm hungry now.

#2 FYI: Shepherds Pie is made with Lamb, Cottage Pie is made with Beef. (There is also a rarer St Stephens Pie made with Turkey & Ham).
bluedragon00
Didn't know this thanks for the info.
WestonsCat
To hazard a guess and say I need Turkey Mince for it? 2/2
davebeastly
St Stephen's Pie sounds great might have to hunt down a recipe.
ShiftyT08
Also Admiral Pie...
WestonsCat
I'm English I should know this, I feel a little ashamed. Shepherds/Cottage and Cumberland for that matter are the bees knees. I'm going 1/2

This is not what the food looks like at a low income nursing home in the states. Bravo to your facility.
ClimbThemCrimps
I intern at a non-profit assisted living day program, and we serve great food to the clients! It makes me jealous. (live in CO)
safetcup
That's not the quality serves in Quebec's hospitals went you give birth. Far from that quality. Has to cost less then 3$ par person daily.
thevortexmaster
My food budget hovers around $3.50 a dinner. That includes the dessert, soup, salad and dinner. I have advantages though bring non profit
charliegrs
Yeah but how much does the actual birth cost in Quebec?
whywait
Yes, sadly I assumed right away this is not the US. I'm afraid we'll be served canned & powered meals when our time comes, but maybe not
KMF3967
Well well well....this is impressive.
nursebeard
As someone who worked in a nursing hm thank you for making this and thanking for what you do. I know you guys work hard with what you have

@OP, you are kind; you are good; you are important. Thank you for being able, willing, and proud to serve the less fortunate.

You are a good person making a real positive difference in the lives of those around you. Hopefully your post will inspire others to follow.
Pataar
My father is a food service director of a nursing home kitchen as well. When he first came home he was broken, said they were using "molds"
Pataar
to make the puree shit look like real pieces of chicken/beef. And not just for the people who needed it pureed. The look on his face when he
Pataar
saved/changed enough to get quality ingredients was amazing, like he just had his dream come true. Keep up the good work!
thevortexmaster
Thanks, and thanks to your father!
moerkov
Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you for caring about people and seeing your job as an act of service to a human being.
PeerPressureMadeMeDoIt
Yeah... it's cool and all, but do they give them double juices?
Freefallingheather
Just about to say that this care home appears to have staff that care & live what they do x
Soddo
You could cut your marketing budget for this place and just forward them this link
thevortexmaster
Thanks! I love doing what I do
matyles
I actually started to tear up thinking about how great this was, old people deserve people like you
crazyassredneck
I can tell, it looks great.
thevortexmaster
Thanks!
drivetankhitcars
When you love it, it's made with love, and that makes all the difference
deciumwarrior
As someone who's been a dietary aide in the past, thank you for taking care of your residents. I still miss those that I worked with.
TornadoAli
You are beyond inspiring, OP. Sending so much gratitude.
Koshokai
Thnx again for the +1 for my hope in the humanity...!
lostparrot42
Can I live there? The food looks incredible! Way to go
Zeppdude
This must be Canada, with the butter chicken plate. Delicious!!
CleatusTakeTheReel
Can I stay there too?
thevortexmaster
As long as you're over 60 and low income for sure!
CondescendingCunt
I'm 28 and low income... if I find a 32 years old with low income, can we split meals?
nursep94
Do yous have a cafeteria I can come eat lunch at? I'll pay whatever you want.
i336
That is a remarkably good idea. @OP, look ^
TerribleBot
I totally second this !
rawrhayyyley
Would be a good opportunity to allow some socializing for the elderly
thevortexmaster
We do events like garage sales open to the public and we serve hotdogs and stuff like that. We have a great activity director
YouSunkMyBattleChip
Where is this facility? I saw fish n chips so I'm thinking Britain.
thevortexmaster
Nope, I'm in BC Canada
YouSunkMyBattleChip
Damn it. I know some people who could use a nice retirement home like that. Figures that it's in Canada.
thevortexmaster
I wish I could help :(
DoctorFromTheDarkestAlley
Fuck outta here
DoctorFromTheDarkestAlley
Can I have a turnover tho?
BubblesAndSuch
Omg. I would have never thought I would see the logo I made on someone else's post XD
thevortexmaster
Hahaha I get that reference.
SFCrawNik
What kind of budget do you get to work with? Or how does that all work.
thevortexmaster
I'm subsidized by the government. We're non profit
TheJazzGhost
As another person working for a non-profit, you rule.

Thanks!

My uncle is a French chef and has worked in fancy restaurants all his life until 5 years ago when he started working in a nursing home 1/2

He loves his job and spends every holidays with the seniors and make them special dishes when he can. They all love him too :)

Providing nutritious, made-from-scratch food to low-income senior citizens? YOU are doing God's work, my friend. What a fantastic post!!!
Freakingdoomguy
A nursing home ive volunteered at had bacon wrappdd shrimp

I'm a low income apartment housing manager for seniors. Apparently my job is not God's work, at least that's how it feels with all the /1
NoTrumpEver
/2 complaints about how we never take care of anything ... and we certainly do! it's just hard to get seniors to stop picking on eachother!
JSymphony
Amen to this and good shit @OP
thevortexmaster
Thanks!
audiophile42
People like vik here are the reason nursing home staff have such a bad rep. It's about money, and not the people.
thevortexmaster
My company is non profit so other than providing our income there's no actual money being made
IgniaEternale
That's how Healthcare f@#$ing should be.
DizzyNosferatu
Food of this quality instills a dignity in people. Hope this person knows how much his or her work makes an immediate dent in the real world
PietroAretino
Don't insult this person. They're doing a good humans work. Gods work consists of genocide, hate-crimes and mass murder on a global scale.
WhippedMeme
I upvoted your comment and realized I should probably the post as well. Also; everyone has one, no one wants to see yours
mickjl
I'm sure it's better than most, but it could be more nutritious. More veggies, less carbs and next to zero sugar.
thevortexmaster
1) Later note: I'm also in contract with the local health authority. I am required to serve a certain percentage of carbs with every meal.
thevortexmaster
2) my menu and food is regularly reviews by dieticians and submitted to the local authority
thevortexmaster
Some of those desserts are diabetic and I have options for any dietary restrictions. I try to look at them as individuals

The size of that battered fish.....mmmmm
milkandeggsbitch
It looks good but shepherds pie and cottage pie are two different things.
thevortexmaster
Yep. One beef and ones lamb. Lamb doesn't go over so well and it's expensive here
CMFMTNPPL
While I'm sure it tastes amazing, who ever thought up that tamale should be taken of or put on some sort of medication
Techtronic
I'm only 25, any room for me at your seniors facility? That food looks awesome.
YourFriendlyNeighbourhoodEcologist
Good on ya man, Canadian from NB here, you're doing good work.
Rin007
I want to die there!
kumochan
I'm about to graduate with a degree in dietetics. Y'all hiring?
thevortexmaster
I use dieticians to submit my menu too but we don't have any on site. Sorry
breakingbadlover
it really shows that you put effort in your job OP, anyone who understands the difficulty of the challenge will say the same.
kanihaznaiph
Would u be willing to share any of ur recipes, or make posts about how to make them???
thevortexmaster
Hahaha sure you could always pm me. I don't really use recipes but I could drum them up
LazyTheAssCat
I missed "low income" and had the thought "oh what a cunt, showing off and shit". I was wrong, I apologize. You're good folk.
liliantbn
But remember that it's in Canada. I hope we have any food like that for low income facilities anywhere in the U S.
Roune
I need that sticky banana steamed pudding recipe @OP
thevortexmaster
Sure. Pm me and I'll try to get it for ya
ekzeko
Ok but... hear me out. You got anywhere we can find the recipes. My mouth is watering just looking at that tamale.
thevortexmaster
I pretty much wing everything but if you pm me I could drum recipes up

Don't you lie to me you modest mouse. Those ribbs don't lie. But will do.
