AMOREM Dietary Team Receives Perfect Inspection Score
AMOREM’s dietary team received a perfect score of 100 during a surprise inspection from the Environmental Health Division of Burke County.
The surprise inspection included a new training session in which the trainee underwent a series of questions and demonstrations. AMOREM dietary specialists performed these demonstrations perfectly during the surprise inspection.
The Environmental Health Section of the Burke County Health Department functions as the local government arm of the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (DEHNR) in the enforcement of state laws and rules concerning the public health of county citizens and the protection of the environment. AMOREM is honored to be a positive contribution to the county’s, and surrounding county’s, health and well-being.
“Our dietary team is equipped with a wealth of food safety knowledge,” says Dietary Coordinator, Tina Avery. “Our team has a true compassion for making sure we remain in compliance in order to continue serving delicious meals for our patients and families”
AMOREM’s mission is to provide quality, thoughtful, loving care to patients and support to their families and offer education and grief support to communities served.

The dietary team works to provide patients and families with weekly menu options, prepares and delivers patient meals that comply with special dietary needs and preferences and ensures that meals are delivered at the specific times that they are required. The team can be found curating menus and meals for patients and families, transporting meals to required locations, preparing specific catering requests for the organization and participating in national culinary workshops to keep their skills and knowledge base up to date.
