Mansfield, Mass.

The past year saw NexDine’s entry into the senior dining market with the opening of a 100-bed high-end assisted living community contract. In addition to entry into senior services, the company continued its growth in the mid-Atlantic with the addition of two new residential behavioral health centers in greater Philadelphia.

NexDine furthered its commitment to wellness with the introduction of its Live Forward program, which helps customers achieve healthier lifestyles through food, exercise and education.

Another 2018 rollout was a program called Artisan, by NexDine, which menus diverse, authentic, hand-crafted cuisines springing from NexDine’s corporate culture and commitment to culinary authenticity. Artisan focuses on locally sourced, clean ingredients, prepared from scratch and served in a small-plate format that ensures the carefully curated flavors, aromas and textures deliver a truly memorable dining experience for guests.

Finally, this past year also saw the launch of NexDine’s Chef’s Table program, which features high-end, seasonal dishes such as biscotti-crusted local goat cheese with confit chicken, Power Grain bar with grilled shrimp and Korean bibimbap bowl, all served restaurant-style.
