occasions for our patients so we offer festive meals to celebrate them throughout the year. Complex Continuing Care patients get paper menus every Thursday to fill out. These menus represent a week’s worth of meals that are sent out far in advance of serving time. You or your caregiver should circle your meal choices and return the paper menus to the Unit Clerk no later than every Tuesday. If doing this is difficult, we can make the meal choices for you, or your caregiver can mark 3 weeks of menus for Food Services to keep and re-use. Many rehabilitation patients are visited by our Spoken Menu Clerk from Monday to Friday to order your food choices for all three meals. The clerk is allowed a few minutes only with each patient, so please be respectful of their time.
Meal times are: Breakfast: Lunch: Dinner:
7:20 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. 11:20 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. 4:20 p.m. to 5:10 p.m.
Meals cannot be delivered after: • 10:00 a.m. for breakfast • 1:00 p.m. for lunch • 5:30 p.m. for dinner If you have an outside appointment during a meal time, your nurse will call Food Services the day before and arrange for a bagged meal that you can take with you. If you need to speak with Food Services about your dietary needs, please do not hesitate to tell your nurse. Our goal is to provide you with the best meals possible to make your stay pleasant and to support your recovery!
