Health and Wellness
Toni’s Kitchen provides a growing number of health and wellness services. We have increasingly focused on self-management of health and nutrition.
To help our guests' health, we provide resources and connections to help them manage their issues and work to improve their health.
Toni's Kitchen also provides free, regular screenings for blood pressure and glucose levels for our guests, as well as foot care and general wellness assessments.
Access to regular healthcare supports independent living, provides earlier intervention, and helps prevent unnecessary visits to hospital emergency rooms.
Nutrition For Our Guests
At Toni’s Kitchen, we recognize that guests have limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables, adequate amounts of protein, and sufficient quantities of whole grains and dairy. We also recognize that guests often rely on fast foods which may contain excessive amounts of fat, salt, and sugar.
Our goal at Toni's Kitchen is to provide guests with consistently healthy, nutritious, and tasty meals. Meals are planned and prepared using the following guidelines:
- Collaborative meal planning process
- My Plate and USDA nutrition guidelines
- Six ounces of protein per serving
- Limited use of "mixed dishes," as mixed dishes usually result in a lesser amount of protein
- Limited fat intake
- Reduced sodium intake
- Reduced amount of refined sugar
Nutrition Targets for Each Meal:
- Sodium: 1300mg
- Calories: 1500-1800
- Protein: 30%
- Vegetables: 30%
- Grains: 20%
- Fruits: 20%
