Acts Retirement-Life Communities Serves Its Residents Chef-Prepared Fare
You’ve lived your life to the fullest. Now, dine that way during retirement.
St. Andrews Estates and Edgewater at Boca Pointe — two resort-like communities in Boca Raton, (part of Acts Retirement-Life Communities) offer more than your typical retirement community. Residents praise the exclusive, nationally acclaimed dining experience, professionally trained chefs and enticing dinners rivaling Boca Raton’s top restaurants. Mouthwatering entrees are prepared fresh daily and include the likes of grilled Atlantic salmon with homemade salsa and a memorable filet mignon.
“We customize everything we can,” says Jonathan Pinsker, regional director of culinary and nutrition services.
Menus rotate every four weeks with seasonal fare to ensure the highest quality. There are also three daily specials, in addition to a catch of the day, hand-cut steak and other favorites like grilled chicken and entree salads.
Residents have access to a variety of dining venues — main dining rooms with white tablecloths for an upscale experience, private dining for intimate gatherings and a convenient bistro.
“The bistro is more casual with more grill items,” says Pinsker. “People love the quick, hot entrees cooked to order and delivered to your table or packaged to go.”
Acts Retirement-Life Communities’ efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. They received national awards in 2019 and 2020 from the Senior Dining Association for Excellence in Presentation and Chef of the Year. St. Andrews Estates was recognized for its highly acclaimed pop-up restaurant series featuring special themed nights such as 1950s burgers, an authentic pizzeria and French crepes.
“It’s a huge hit,” says Pinsker. “It’s not always about serving an elegant meal. It’s about amazing food in an amazing environment.”
Acts also received the 2020 Best Practices award by the Florida Network Pioneer Association.
Along with the delicious food options, St. Andrews Estates and Edgewater at Boca Pointe are appealing for their peace of mind and maintenance-free, resort-style living. Pay an entrance fee, enjoy the amenities and thriving social scene, and live independently. If future needs arise, the Acts Life Care® plan will enable you to receive assisted living or skilled nursing on the same campus and at a predictable monthly fee that does not increase solely as a result of those needs.
