Nutritional Services at Peabody

Our restaurant-style dining places quality-of-life at the forefront.  Through the use of our daily menus, Peabody makes it possible to choose what you like, fixed just the way you request. Your order is taken and served right at your table by our trained staff in one of the numerous dining rooms located throughout campus.

Our registered dietician and her entire staff work closely with the nursing services and medical staff to ensure special dietary goals are accomplished.  Whether for weight management, heart-smart eating, or to promote healthy diabetic living, the multitude of choices and homemade quality of our meals allow our residents to 'enjoy' their diet without sacrifice.  Through careful medication management and  monitoring by our nutritional and nursing staff, our residents can often enjoy foods they were not able to before joining the Peabody family.

Daily menus . Every day, a new menu is available with tasty entrees and side dishes to choose from.
