ABOUT OUR SUPER DIETARY MANAGER, JAY MANNING
Sometimes it takes just the right situation to find your niche in life. For Jay Manning, that started as a move to Utah where her great-grandma lived. Jay found herself spending time in her great-grandma’s kitchen cooking, chatting, and growing close. Preparing food for her great-grandma helped Jay see just how important it was to make good food for someone in their senior years. So, when the opportunity to extend that love to others at Sunridge Assisted Living of West Jordan presented itself, Jay jumped.
After spending several months learning the ropes, Jay was presented another opportunity to manage the kitchen at Sunridge. Even when a personal move took Jay to another city several miles away, the connections she had made with the Sunridge residents kept her here.
Jay loves experimenting in the kitchen with a particular love of Italian and island flavors. But what really makes life at Sunridge special is the “secret smiles.” When Jay prepares a dish that is the favorite of a specific resident, she often shares a secret smile with the resident that communicates more than words could say — but if they could, it would be, “this is just for you.”
