Messiah Lifeways hires Bethlehem firm to provide culinary services
Mechanicsburg-based Messiah Lifeways have selected Culinesse, LLC, a boutique hospitality brand, as their new culinary management partner.
The search was prompted by Messiah Lifeways’ desire to enhance its current culinary experience and deliver dining and hospitality throughout its continuum of care, in alignment with senior living trends, the company said in a press release.
Bethlehem-based Culinesse is a hospitality brand focused on highly personalized resident and guest experiences, according to Messiah Lifeways.
“Culinesse was founded by a team of dining services professionals who believed in harnessing the power of food to connect people and create community,” said Mitch Possinger, CEO and managing partner of Culinesse. “The team at Culinesse looks forward to working with residents and team members to not only continually improve dining services, but also offer lifelong learning opportunities and support Messiah Lifeways’ strong sense of community life.”
Messiah Lifeways said dining plays a key role in healthy aging and community engagement.
“It was important to us that a new culinary management partner not only come to the table with new ideas, but that they also take pride in their quality, consistency, and the relationships built with residents and team members throughout our organization,” said Kim Valvo, Messiah Lifeways Vice president of Operations.
“I’m excited to see how this partnership continues to evolve and grow to meet and exceed the changing needs of our community,” said Messiah Lifeways President and CEO, Karl Brummer.
