Mealtime is an opportunity to provide an enjoyable experience for all our residents. At the heart of this are seasonal menus that use fresh, local produce – including monthly specials, such as Tasmanian scallops.
To ensure that the food we serve our residents remains of a consistently high standard, we’ve formed a resident menu committee to generate ideas and feedback.
As well as delicious food, we’ve also created a series of food-inspired programs aimed at helping our residents maintain independence. We are extremely proud of the special events and culinary occasions we create for those who live with us.
