What's it like to dine at Runk & Pratt? 🍽
By working closely with expert dietitians to craft a varied and nutritious menu, our Runk & Pratt culinary teams create savory selections that are sure to please the palette and nourish the body. Our dining rooms are designed to be open and inviting, and provide a common space for residents to engage in community over a wholesome meal.
I can’t wait to get through Covid, so I can enjoy a meal with my parents and my mother-in-law.
Our seniors had a lot of fun making crafts this week for Make and Take Tuesday! 🎨 A special thank you to our very own resident, Mrs. Connie, for teaching us all how to take these oyster shells and turn them into custom trinket trays! Such a cute gift idea! We love when our residents can use their talents and share them with others. 💕
I want to do that
Glad to finally see masks!
