Cosmic Soup welcomes Danny Corsun, the creator and principal of Culinary Judaics Academy.
Please join Scott Daniels and Cynthia Thurlow as we talk about all things kosher… specifically, how communities can work with their dining teams to create understanding and focus on creativity in kosher dining.
3rdPlus and the Culinary Coach are smitten with Culinary Judaics Academy for the work they are doing to bring new meaning to the principles of Jewish spirituality into the modern world.
Cheers to 2023 and another exciting year of branding, census building and making aging better. Derek and Cynthia recorded their Top Ten Marketing Tips for Senior Living Marketing in 2023. It's short and sweet and intended to help all of you aging services communities to succeed! Mazel tov to the the year!
Innovation and change can be the make-or-break difference between surviving and thriving. And at 3rdPlus, we want all senior living communities to THRIVE and make aging better. In this episode of Cosmic Soup I have an enlightening conversation with Randi Saeter, VP of Health Services here at 3rdPlus and Dave Foltz, 3rdPlus Leadership and Culture Coach. It’s a nice refresher and inspiration for how to get the most out of your talented teams! Enjoy.
Do you know the term “internalized ageism”? Do you know how it impacts sales and marketing, warps the perspectives of your prospects and can make an immense difference in your own longevity? According to gerontology researchers Levy, Kunkel, and Kasl (2002), “Older individuals with more positive self-perceptions of aging lived 7.5 years longer than those with less positive self-perceptions of aging.”
Our 3rdThird Marketing creative director Derek Dujardin and principle at 3rdPlus, Cynthia Thurlow-Cruver, have spent the summer crisscrossing the country speaking at quite a few senior living conferences on the topic of internalized ageism and marketing. We decided it was time to capture what they learned about internalized ageism and highlight key takeaways that every savvy marketer needs to know.
The outdoor dining season is officially here, and communities across the country are getting their patios and grills ready to offer their residents a taste of summer! There are so many reasons to include outdoor dining options at your community, and joining Mike on the show today to discuss them is Executive Chef and VP of Culinary and Operations Scott Daniels. Hang out with Scott and Mike as they dispel the myths and rumors about expensive and complicated operations and illustrate how easy, inexpensive, beneficial, and fun it is for residents and staff alike. If you don't already have a plan in place to take advantage of the warmer (and dryer) weather, make sure you tune in for some easy to implement ideas!

In the senior living industry, one of the most hotly debated topics is whether to self-operate your own dining program or to farm out to a food service contractor. Either way, the C-Suite must set clear expectations in order to ensure resident satisfaction and industry compliance.
As a follow-up to last week's episode on managing your own dining department, we brought back 3rd Plus founder/principal Cynthia Thurlow and Culinary Coach Executive Chef/VP of Culinary and Operations Scott Daniels to discuss the ins and outs of contracted dining and how to effectively manage a food operation being run by an outside company.
In this episode, Scott and Cynthia will answer many of the common questions posed to them by clients:
Why should I choose a dining contractor? How do I understand my dining contract? How do I hold contractors accountable? How will the food contractor work with my dining team? How do I get out of my contract if I'm not happy? How much control do I still have over my dining department?
Tune in now for these answers and more!

Dining Management and the C-suite
As a C-suite professional of a senior living community, you may know something needs to change when it comes to dining … but you’re not sure what. You probably didn’t study hospitality management or attend culinary school, so how can you positively affect your community’s dining program?
That’s what this episode is all about. Culinary Coach Executive Chef and VP of Culinary and Operations Scott Daniels teams up with 3rdPlus Founder and Principal Cynthia Thurlow to give a quick primer on how to approach managing your dining program.
We’ll answer questions like: Should we manage our own dining department? How involved should I be in overseeing the dining operation? How often should I review and share financial information with my management team? What effect would my presence in the kitchen or dining room have on the dining team? What kind of leadership should I have in place to run the dining operation?
This excellent conversation is geared toward executive-level managers who are looking to take a more hands-on approach to their community's dining program and set clear and concise expectations with their leadership teams.

On this episode of F-Tag Friday, 3rd Plus and Culinary Coach VP of Health Services Randi Saeter discusses F803, which states that menus need to Meet Resident Needs, Be Prepared in Advance, and Followed. This includes considering the religious, cultural, and ethnic needs of residents and also states that menus need to be analyzed and updated periodically and in such a way so as not to limit the resident's right to make personal dietary choices.
