The facility has set mealtimes. All dishes must be able to be plated and served at that time. Some residents eat in their rooms. These dishes are plated first, placed in insulated covers, arranged on pre-set trays and sent by trolley to their rooms. Many residents cannot eat very hard or crunchy items, such as whole nuts. Residents tend to eat smaller portion sizes. On average, portions are 20% smaller than normal. For example, if the standard portion for beef casserole is 250 g, residents are served a 200 g portion. A recipe that yields ten standard 250 g portions will yield 12.5 200 g portions. Dishes must be nutritionally balanced. Fruit, vegetables and sources of fibre and calcium are important components in the residents' diet. To keep costs down, the facility's management encourages the use of frozen, pre-prepared or convenience foods, for example, use of powdered soup bases.
