About Us
We evolve with you
Since 1996, Cura has been curating dining service programs specific to each client’s needs, taking the worry of guest safety and satisfaction, employee development, operational and fiscal challenges off of our clients’ plates.
As our client’s needs evolve, so do we.
Our company evolution
We are a company of experienced dining services professionals that came together under one name in 2019, previously doing business as Cura, A’viands and Valley Services, providing services in Life Plan Communities, and Acute Care. Cura is now part of Elior North America where, together, we are small enough to care and big enough to make a difference.
