Dietary Services
At Extendicare Tendercare, we pride ourselves in providing nutritious home-cooked meals. Our Resident Food Committee consists of a dedicated group of residents who meet regularly to discuss and review the current menu. Changes to our menu are made as a result of the feedback that we receive from this committee.
Our in house registered dietician assesses the nutritional requirements of our residents and together with them, their families and registered team members, creates a best-suited nutritional plan of care.

Religious and Spiritual Services
Extendicare Tendercare understands the diversity of spirituality. Our chaplain oversees all pastoral services and spiritual care at our home. This is done in part by outreaching to the community on behalf of our residents, i.e., the chaplain liaises with the Native Friendship centre on behalf of our aboriginal First Nations residents, and with clergy for sacraments and prayer.
Inter-denominational spiritual programs are provided within Extendicare Tendercare. Spiritual programs include bible study, praying the rosary, and multi-faith prayer.
Weekly church services are held in an inter-denominational setting as well as a denominational setting. Our chaplain and volunteers make regular pastoral visits.
