Our goal in this project is to persuade\nsenior establishments to offer more vegan options on a regular basis. Sometimes\nby just asking you put the thought on their radar. We were successful in doing\nthe same thing 15 years ago when we urged college campuses to do the same\nthing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are two recent additions to our list. You can\nfind the entire list here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/seniors\/senior_vegan.php\">https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/seniors\/senior_vegan.php<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventhealth.com\/skilled-nursing\/adventhealth-care-center-orlando-north\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AdventHealth Care Center Orlando North<\/a><\/em><br>\n730 Courtland Street<br>\nOrlando, FL 32804<br>\n(407) 975-3800<br>\nNursing Home, Rehab<br>\nThis facility serves vegetarian meals to all of the\nresidents about once a month.

They can make vegan items with some substitutions, but it is\nnot already vegan. There is good communication between the residents and the\nkitchen about what is in the food, and the residents can always ask for\ningredients that are in items.
