Dietary Services
At Extendicare York, 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 are made as a result of the feedback that we receive from our Resident Food Committee.
Upon choosing Extendicare York as their home, each resident has his or her nutritional requirements assessed by our dietitian. Together with the resident, his or her family and registered team members, our dietitian develops a best-suited nutritional plan of care.

Religious and Spiritual Services
Extendicare York 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 York. 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.
