Dietary Services
- Meal Services
Extendicare Scarborough's residents enjoy delicious meals prepared by a highly trained staff. We focus on bringing a wide variety of menu choices tailored to the preferences of our residents. Our residents can also request choices not on the menu and are always welcome to order seconds and thirds.
Menus are determined by the feedback we receive from our residents and their families. We specialize in featuring traditional menus as well introducing new specialties on a regular basis. Among those represented by our menu selection include Chinese, Tamil and Islamic cultures.
All of our meals are served restaurant-style to ensure that residents have the opportunity to socialize with their peers in our comfortable and attractive surroundings.
Private dining arrangements can be arranged to accommodate family events and functions. We provide space for both small and larger gatherings. Food can be brought in or ordered in advance through our on-site kitchen.
Our in-house registered dietitian assesses the nutritional requirements of our residents and together with the resident and family members, a best-suited nutritional plan of care is developed.
