Dietary
The dietary staff at Lakeland greatly contributes to the quality of life of our residents. Dietary staff are employees of Aramark and are an important part of the Lakeland team. Dietary staff are responsible for preparing the dining room before and after each meal. They are also responsible for ensuring food is a proper temperature, in the correct portion, and nicely presented. The courtesy and care consistently shown by dietary staff help make mealtime a pleasant experience for our residents.
Housekeeping
Lakeland's housekeepers are an important part of the team and the housekeeping staff have some of the strongest relationships with our residents because they interact with each other daily. The housekeeping staff provide invaluable care to the residents and their dedication is obvious. We recognize and truly appreciate all the hard work that they do.
