sellers to meet the low-fat and low-calorie
guidelines for the in-house spa programs.

executive chefs bring their fine dining restaurants to
luxury senior condos. We reviewed menus, suggested
modifications and assured residents and chefs that the
selections satisfied nutrition needs while maintaining
