What PACE leaders tell us
Poorly run food programs increase costs downstream
Poorly nourished participants need more acute care, sooner — and it shows up on the ledger. Meanwhile the food program itself eats aide hours, vendor management, and paperwork nobody planned for.
We hear some version of all four of these on almost every call:
The issues we hear most often
-
Multiple vendors across home delivery and on-site, each running its own process.
-
General-purpose menus retrofitted to clinical or cultural needs, instead of built for them.
-
Manual processes and paper pulling health aides into food logistics instead of care.
-
HIPAA compliance and MTM reporting handled by hand, order by order.
Participants and caregivers who are glad the meals arrived
Menus come from our Chief Culinary Officer, a Michelin-trained chef, and get reviewed by clinicians before they reach a plate. Caregivers get their own login, so they can manage orders instead of calling your center.
- Cultural dishes and cuisines built into the menu, not added as an afterthought
- Texture modifications — pureed, soft — without compromising on flavor or presentation
- Ready-to-heat breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks on tailored schedules
- Caregivers can place and manage participant orders to reduce staff time
Give health aides their hours back
Meals arrive fresh, portioned, and ready to heat and serve. There's no cook line to staff, no caterers to manage, and no census spreadsheet to reconcile — production and delivery run on your schedule, not the other way around.
- Lower labor cost for program management
- Less staff training time
- Less waste from clear reheating guidance
- Lower turnover in a role that's hard to fill
RD-led model: your care team approves, Epicured runs the rest — one vendor, one support line.
Lower medical risk. Compliance that's simple to audit
Every Epicured meal is built to the federal definition of a Medically Tailored Meal and logged as it's delivered, so the records are already there when someone asks for them.
Every meal follows MTM requirements
- Provides roughly a third of recommended dietary intake
- Built to therapeutic, evidence-based dietary specifications
- Assigned from an actual assessment of nutritional need
- Directed by an RDN or other nutrition professional
Built for easy auditing
A HIPAA-compliant portal logs every meal automatically: type, count, date, place, mode of delivery, and proof of delivery.
- Medical necessity documented on every order
- Beneficiary name and ID attached to every record
- No spreadsheets, no paper, nothing to reconcile at month-end
