Raising the Bar in Dining Service Celebrating Communities Earning Cedarhurst’s First-Ever Silver Spoon Award

At Cedarhurst, every community is committed to creating dining experiences where residents feel loved, supported, and valued. Our Crafted by Cedarhurst ® culinary program sets a high bar across the board—featuring fresh, chef-prepared meals, elevated hospitality, and a focus on connection around the table. Building on that strong foundation, the new Silver Spoon Award was created to recognize communities that demonstrated exceptional consistency and excellence during our rigorous bi-annual dining review.

The Silver Spoon program evaluates hundreds of operational standards across four key areas: kitchen safety and sanitation, recipe execution and food quality, table-side service and PRD stewardship, and overall dining room service and resident experience. Each community already follows these standards daily yet earning the Silver Spoon means surpassing them at the highest level—achieving a 90% or higher audit score that reflects both teamwork and precise attention to detail.

In its inaugural year, seven communities rose to the top, setting an impressive benchmark for what exceptional dining service looks like at Cedarhurst:
