New dining director brings fresh approach to senior-living foodservice

Candle Light Cove’s new dining director, Robert Scheele, has brought a fresh perspective to the Maryland-based senior living communities dining service as the new foodservice director.

Scheele, who became the dining director at the senior-living community in June, has plans to introduce an herb garden that will produce fresh items for the menu, emphasizing his preference of fresh ingredients over processed or frozen food.

“Ultimately, we’re looking to take the foodservice program here to the next level,” Scheele said in a release. “We will focus on making entrees from scratch. We want to use fresh foods in a senior living and continuing care setting. We’ve had success in the past with this approach, and I’m looking to take that experience and implement those philosophies to Candle Light Cove.”
