Senior living chef gets spotlight in the local news

On one of our monthly calls, my client The Fountains at Lake Pointe Woods, shared with me that their chef had a unique culinary background. Julio Cesar Rivero-Morales started his career in the culinary arts in Cuba in 1998. He then moved to Spain for four years before making his way to the United States.

In August of 2022, Rivero-Morales had plans to host a Spanish-themed dinner for residents of the senior living community. The event would be a homage to his time in Spain and introduce residents to new flavors and dishes.

We thought this would be a great opportunity to highlight The Fountains’ dining program in the local media and showcase Julio’s experience. The local media LOVED this story and Julio appeared on ABC Action News and SNNTV during a three-part live segment.

“We couldn’t BUY this kind of wonderful media coverage. Great job!”
