The Springs Living and the Rouxbe Cooking School are partnering to bring culinary skills training for cooks at multiple communities in the Pacific Northwest.
Rouxbe is pleased to announce the initiation of a training partnership with The Springs Living, a group of independent retirement living, assisted living and memory care communities.
The Springs Living was founded in 1996 to serve as an enriching and compassionate alternative to conventional assisted living facilities that did not meet the needs of their residents. Part of this approach was to develop a culinary culture that exceeds the expectations of both the industry and their clients with strong values around food quality and having appropriate healthy options.
“We strive to deliver culinary excellence by partnering with quality producers who follow ethical and responsible practices, by offering healthy menu choices for any dietary need, by engaging with our residents and supporting our staff.” said Sam Currie, Director of Culinary Services at The Springs Living.
The online training program consists of instructional video content that focuses on foundational cooking techniques used in professional kitchens. The goal is to help kitchen staff across all properties produce deliciously healthy food—meals that meet the wide range of food preferences and requirements of their customers.
In addition, participants can track their learning, take assessments to verify progress, and review course content on demand. Rouxbe course content, consisting of close up HD video instruction and adaptive learning exercises, is available 24/7 from any Internet-enabled device.
“The Springs Living shares Rouxbe’s core mission to support people with quality training with a focus on the health and wellbeing of the residents in each community. They show a real commitment to innovation and health in the assisted living and wellness communities and we are proud to be able to help support these leadership efforts,” said Joe Girard, Rouxbe’s CEO and Co-founder.
