Mmm...That Smells Good! 

Our Food Services Supervisor and Dietitian are dedicated to providing optimal nutritional care and quality food services to our residents.

A three-week menu is posted, which changes in the summer and winter. Resident’s food preferences are always considered, as is their dietary requirements such as diabetic or gluten-free. Residents requiring specific dietary restrictions or texture modifications are assessed by the dietitian. 

The dietician works in conjunction with physician and outside resources including Speech Language Pathology through the Extra Mural Program. The dietician is responsible for assessing optimal nutritional care needs unique to each resident and recommending supplementation if needed. 

Mealtimes are: 08:00, 12:00, and 17:00. There is also an afternoon snack at 2:00 and night lunch at 7:30 pm. 

Under Social Development Regulations, only approved vendors are to provide food products to the nursing home. In the event family or friends wish to bring in a special item for a resident, this product must be served by the person who brings it in. This would include items for a special event, such as a family birthday, or a meal for the resident. Staff cannot reheat food items, however there is a microwave available for your use if you wish to do so. Regrettably, food brought from home can only be served to the individual resident. It cannot be shared with other residents

Due to safety of your loved one, we ask that you present food to the nursing station or nurse manager for awareness purposes, as well as choking risk due to special dietary considerations. Foods at high risk for choking include nuts, trail mix, jellybeans, jujubes, peppermints, popcorn, etc.

The consumption of alcoholic beverages by residents is at the request of the resident and in consultation with the physician and the nurse. Alcoholic beverages are kept in a locked medication room and dispensed by the nurse.
