Despite ‘bumpy’ transition, Keith Brown sees bright future for dining services Recently, Salina Presbyterian Manor partnered with Cura Hospitality to deliver dining services. “We’ve been through a lot of changes during my time here, but this is by far the biggest transition,” said Keith Brown, dining services director. “We’re definitely hitting some bumps along the way, but we’re adjusting as quickly as we can.” Keith wants Presbyterian Manor residents and their families to understand that the move is not a cost-cutting measure, but part of an effort to improve dining services in all PMMA communities. “It’s important to note that the decision to bring Cura in was based on resident and family surveys, which had low scores for dining services,” he said. “We’re doing this for them and not for any other reason.”
