2001
Unidine was founded to incorporate a focus on fresh food programs and service excellence. With only three team members, the company set out to fill a critical market need for a boutique solution as an alternative to processed foods, standardized service, and a one-size-fits-all approach.
2003
The Unidine Way was born. It defines the way we work, the level of dedication we provide, and what our clients and customers can expect from every team members. The Unidine Way is the embodiment of our culture. It guides the business and keeps us grounded and ready to serve.
2006
Unidine is named to Inc.’s 500/5000 list as one of America’s fastest-growing, privately held companies, and continued to make this list in 2006, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, and 2015.
2006
The Boston Business Journal announced our company as one of the region’s fastest-growing privately held companies. And we went on to win this six more times.
2007
The Fresh Food Pledge was developed to outline our commitment to crafting exceptional food with care, from scratch, using only fresh, responsibly-sourced ingredients. Signed by all culinary team members, our pledge is our bedrock and a source of pride and commitment for our clients, customers, and team members.
2013
In partnership with our client, Trinity Health Senior Living Communities, Unidine was honored at the 2013 Long Term Care & Senior Living LINK Conference as a Spirit of Innovation Award winner for a program we helped launch called “Puree with Purpose.”
2014
Our program OH SO GOOD® was created to make healthy lifestyle choices easy for consumers. OH SO GOOD® leverages the latest research and innovations to address our customers' health and dietary needs.
2015
Unidine is named to Food Management’s Top 50 Contract Management Companies for 2015. And again in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
2016
Unidine becomes one of 100 people, products, and companies to make the Rodale 100 List for “Positively Impacting the World.”
2018
We continued to strategize new ways to address the changing needs of the senior living industry and expand our dedication to service excellence. In 2018, we rebranded Unidine Senior Living Culinary Group to Unidine Lifestyles. The new organization increased its span nationally, managing nearly half a billion dollars in volume as the best-in-class boutique provider in senior living.
2019
To respond to the dynamic needs of the industry, in 2019 Coreworks was created, offering facility support services – housekeeping, laundry, plant operations maintenance, transportation, and security – that uphold the same distinctive level of service and hospitality culture that our clients currently enjoy from Unidine.
TODAY
With over 20 years of service excellence, Unidine remains committed to delivering memorable moments and exceeding the expectation of more than 450 clients in 42+ states across the nation. Each one of the 10,000 team members is committed to living The Unidine Way and making us proud every day.
