Dining is an essential human experience. Not only does it shape your daily comfort and health, but it also nourishes your soul. When you share a meal with others, you have the opportunity to form lasting social connections, enhancing your life in sometimes unexpected ways.
For all of the residents at The Trillium in McLean, VA, chef-prepared meals offer more than simple nourishment. They combine convenience, treasured social connections, and the joy of flavorful, thoughtfully crafted cuisine in a beautiful setting. This is especially taken into consideration for our assisted living residents. Learn more about how our chef-prepared meals can enhance your quality of life at The Trillium.
Once you arrive at The Trillium, there's no need to worry about meal planning, grocery shopping, cleaning, and doing the dishes. Our team members handle the mental and physical effort for you. The Trillium has professional dietitians and chefs who work together to ensure that every meal supports senior health, especially if you need low-sodium, heart-healthy, or diabetic-friendly options.
Assisted Living dining also supports residents’ changing nutritional needs and preferences. Whether you need smaller portions or foods that don't interfere with your medications, our team is ready to help.
At The Trillium, we take dining seriously, so our Michelin Star executive chef, Franck Loquet, puts his best into menu planning and execution. His team develops thoughtful menus ranging from French, Mediterranean, American, and Asian cuisines with an emphasis on farm-fresh local products. Residents of The Trillium enjoy an elevated culinary experience, which includes daily menus, plated service, and rotated selections reflecting seasonal flavors and resident preferences.
No two residents have exactly the same needs, so we offer made-to-order dishes, a wide variety of entrée selections, and flexible dining hours. The Trillium is committed to using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local vendors whenever possible, maximizing flavor and nutritional value.
Dining helps you fulfill your nutritional needs, but it's also a social experience. The Trillium offers shared meals in elegant spaces, allowing residents in assisted living to foster new friendships. Shared meals encourage socialization and reduce isolation, both of which can help reduce the risk of depression and cognitive changes.
Themed meals and special events give residents the opportunity to bond over shared experiences. Live music dinners, wine tastings, holiday meals, and birthday celebrations are all part of the inspiring lifestyle available at The Trillium. If you want to host a family gathering or a special celebration on the premises, you can even book a private dining room.
Our team members have specialized training to ensure they offer just the right level of support to Assisted Living residents. Whether you need help cutting food or using adaptive utensils, a team member can assist you while helping you maintain your independence and dignity.
Chefs and other team members recognize that a person's eating habits are part of their unique identity. We honor all food preferences, including allergies, ingredient restrictions, and cultural considerations. The Trillium is also proud to offer consistent quality. Residents can rest easy knowing that every meal will be fresh, consistent, and enjoyable, especially if they have memory loss or sensory challenges.
At The Trillium, we view our dining program as part of a holistic approach to living well. Chef-prepared meals complement our fitness programs, medical care, social programming, and other services. For example, nutritious meals can help you reach the goals you set in personal training sessions or on-site yoga classes. We also have visiting health specialists available to help you better understand how your diet affects your physical health.
Chef-prepared meals give you the energy to participate in our full calendar of social, recreational, and educational programs. Whether you want to take a walk along our scenic paths or spend the day exploring Washington, D.C.'s many cultural attractions, our dining program can help you stay active and engaged.
No matter how often you change your daily routine, we're here to support you with multiple dining options. The Grove offers restaurant-style dining with menus created by an executive chef. Looking for an elevated dining experience? Head to Savor for delicious global cuisine. The Trillium also has a rooftop terrace, an on-site bar and lounge, a private dining venue (Partake), and a café serving soups, wraps, salads, coffee, and tea.
We value resident feedback and use it to guide menu planning, ensuring we continuously improve the dining experience.
