»Morrison Living’s new name paired with shift to hospitality approach
Morrison Living, formerly known as Morrison Community Living, has rebranded itself as it reorganizes the way it approaches senior and healthcare dining experiences.
“We will be seeing an influx of aging baby boomers that are making new decisions about where they want to spend their retirement years,” said Barbara Conn, the company’s new CEO. “We shouldn’t provide them with hospitality experiences that don’t match their needs. We need to be inclusive of all ages, incomes and levels of care. We are about customization and a brand reinvention that gives us the opportunity to ensure that today’s seniors have living choices that are exciting, innovative and fresh.”
The organization said it will emphasize to a greater degree training and major trends in food and design, uniforms and dishware, while creating new culinary standards.
»Survey keys on post-baby boom food preferences
Though not quite ready for life in a senior living setting, Generation X nutrition preferences could very well shape what facilities serve in the coming years, according to an exhaustive study by the International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation, in partnership with the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR).
Both organizations recognized results revealing Gen X food and health attitudes, and their behaviors and perceptions related to diet and cancer risk.
Among the findings:
• American Gen X consumers are much more focused on weight loss than other age groups. Moreover, a majority see a definitive link between lifestyle factors and the risk of developing cancer.
• Nearly half say their purchases are impacted by whether a food or beverage might reduce their risk of developing cancer, although prevention of heart disease, diabetes and other health conditions also are cited at similar levels.
