The three main meals of the day are served in the dining room area which creates a warm atmosphere and also allows residents to socialize during mealtime. The meals served at the nursing home are based on regional dietary habits and also take into account our residents’ preferences, tastes and requests.

Dietary Services
Clinical nutrition services are offered to all residents to meet their nutritional requirements. All nutritional interventions meet long-term care dietary standards and are supervised by a registered dietician.
While following Canada’s Food Guide, the 3 week cycle menu takes into account the tastes and the preferences of the resident, food allergies and intolerances, therapeutic diet requirements and the presence of dysphasia. The menu is also modified on special holidays, during the local festival and according to the seasonal availability of food.
A nutritional assessment is made, following the admission, as well as regular monitoring to ensure that nutritional needs are met. The dietitian works in collaboration with the doctor, nurse and other members of the team to ensure a quality service. Diet changes are communicated to the resident, family, doctor and other staff as required. The dietitian works closely with the Lead Cook on the menu planning.
