Dietary Services
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. A registered dietitian 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.
