V.W. & Husband
Rehabilitation Resident | Bethany Home, Inc.
"Senior Communities are embracing a culture change and person-centered care and many homes are moving to a more restaurant-focused dining program. Josh Eggeman, broke the nursing home dining program mold at Bethany Home in Waupaca, WI. By using his restaurant skills and experience, Josh incorporated a new and liberalized menu, choice dining service, kitchen remodel, and several dining location options. Martin Bros. was lucky enough to support Josh along the way of his dining improvement goals. He has also been generous in offering support and resources to other healthcare communities interested in making similar improvements. Bethany has hosted many tours and education sessions related to dining enhancement throughout this project."

If you can, spend some time listening to Josh and how passionate he is about giving residents an incredible dining experience. I see the industry continuing to trend in this direction and Josh definitely leads the way. He also understands the financial aspect and is able to do all this while staying within budget. Josh is a great resource and I look forward to turning to him for support now and in the future."

"As a registered dietician with experience in many different long-term care facilities, I can honestly say that Josh has established a unique dining experience at Bethany Home. This hospitality-style dining plays an important role in quality of life for the residents. It offers many nutrient dense food choices, creates greater meal intakes, and promotes socialization. Josh's work is paving the way for the future of foodservice departments."
