VERO BEACH, Fla., Oct. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Residents of Watercrest Winter Park Assisted Living and Memory Care celebrated their third year of a truly authentic Oktoberfest experience under the culinary skill and passions of Senior Executive Chef Nathan Shifflett. Watercrest Winter Park recognizes the importance of honoring traditions like Oktoberfest as part of their signature program Life Silhouettes.

Senior Executive Chef Nathan Shifflett and his culinary team bring the festive sights, sounds and tastes of Oktoberfest to Watercrest Winter Park Assisted Living and Memory Care.

When a resident joins the community, the care team connects with family and friends to discover that resident's life story, including favorite music, personal interests and talents, treasured memories and beloved holidays. Celebrating the momentous occasions of each resident's life instills joy, purpose, and personal connection amongst residents, associates, and family members.

Chef Nathan utilizes his culinary skills and creativity to bring these treasured holidays to life at Watercrest Winter Park. Each fall, the sights, sounds, and smells of Oktoberfest fill the air, engaging residents in a multisensory experience that enlivens the senses with the traditional music and iconic tastes of Germany. As a German descendant, Chef Nathan and his culinary team don German attire and serve a mouth-watering feast. Residents enjoy authentic dishes such as Kartoffelsuppe (German potato soup), Wiener Schnitzel with lemon butter sauce, grilled bratwurst, weisswurst, and knockwurst served with apfelkraut while warm pretzels freshly bake in the old-world artisan open-flame oven. German chocolate cake and homemade apple strudel satisfy a sweet tooth, while lager glasses clink to the festive outcries of Prost!
