Dietary

Menus are planned to meet nutritional needs while taking into consideration personal preferences and seasonal specialties. Resident food preferences are considered and a checklist is provided upon admission. Nutritional assessments are completed by the onsite dietitian.  Therapeutic diets are provided when ordered by the resident’s Physician or the Dietitian.

Meal service includes three meals daily with snacks between meals and at bedtime.  Meals are prepared onsite in a full service kitchen and served in the dining room located on each of the twelve Resident Home Areas. 

Residents are able to celebrate special events, such as birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and Mother’s/Father’s Day with their family in the Home.  A room may be reserved by contacting the Director of Resident & Volunteer Activities.  Advance notice should be provided to ensure availability, as rooms are offered on a first come, first serve basis.

Although the RHA dining room does not accommodate guests, families may join a resident for a meal in the RHA Activity Room or Lounge, as available, or in Pine Court or Maple Court, as reserved.  The Home is unable to provide meals for guests and family, but they are more than welcome to bring in their own meal.
