Inside HRA’s Journey from Serving Conventional Cuisine to Running Senior Living Restaurants
Harbor Retirement Associates (HRA) has spent the last decade changing dining operations to focus on farm-fresh fare in an effort to better appeal to incoming older adults.
Vero Beach, Florida-based HRA is focusing on farm-to-table foods and scratch cooking in an effort to “disrupt” the way senior living operators feed and nourish residents while promoting more sustainable practices, according to Vice President of Hospitality Anthony Polito. The company’s philosophy is that residents of tomorrow desire a seamless, restaurant-quality experience instead of batch cooking and cafeteria-style meals.
