Duet Dining is changing the landscape of resident dining in Pueblo West, CO with the re-grand opening of the RiverWalk Café dining room. At Cappella of Pueblo West Senior Assisted Living Community, dining is an experience that delights all the senses.
As we unveil our re-grand opening of the dining room, featuring an updated menu and a warm, welcoming ambiance. Let’s explore how this innovative program is changing the landscape of dining for the residents, providing them agency, promoting connection and giving them comfort in community.
A service of Christian Living Communities, the Duet Dining Hospitality Group is committed to creating a healthy environment with nutritious options for residents, families and staff. With a focus on simple and wholesome meals to create innovative and customizable menus, the program shapes the community culture through the value of shared meals. The Duet Dining Hospitality Group, a hybrid partnership with Morrison Senior Living, designs an experience that offers ample support to each resident’s dietary needs and preferences.
With the re-grand opening comes an updated menu, carefully curated to cater to a variety of tastes and dietary needs. From gourmet entrees and flavorful dishes, the team crafts dishes using fresh ingredients and with our residents in mind, with plans to keep some favorite menu items and ordering options.

The Duet Dining group, alongside the team at Cappella Pueblo West, have taken a fresh approach to dining due to the belief in the resulting culture that is built around shared meals and fulfilling experiences. As part of the re-grand opening, it was important to not just focus on the meals themselves, but to revamp the entire experience.
Keeping with the name that resident’s selected for the dining room, River Walk Café, the re-grand opening will welcome residents into a newly renovated room with a warm and inviting embrace. The thoughtfully designed space aims to create a cozy environment where residents can enjoy their meals in comfort while also fostering a sense of community and connection.
