Dining

Food is one of the greatest pleasures in life. Food is passion, culture, an expression of love, a great connector. Food is at the centre of many of our traditions and celebrations. Our lives are enriched by eating and sharing food with one another which is why we deliver exceptional dining experiences for our residents.

The enjoyment of food also plays a key role in ageing well. Eating healthy, tasty meals and snacks improves the quality of life and health outcomes.

 

Residents dining at Opal

 

All of our Care Communities have a qualified chef leading the kitchen team. We serve three main meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and three lighter selections daily (morning tea, afternoon tea, supper).

We strive to deliver outstanding food experiences every day for our residents. We do this by building deep personal relationships with them, understanding their preferences and enabling resident choice wherever possible. 

Our dedicated chefs prepare a range of meals and snacks fresh from the kitchen every day.

Our goal is for residents to enjoy nourishing and flavourful food that strengthens the body, warms the heart and nourishes the soul. 

Delight in food is not always just in the eating. We encourage residents to participate in growing and preparing food because of the positive effects it can have on emotional wellbeing. For many residents, taking part in the meal preparation and enjoying food in a social environment nurtures a sense of belonging, family, community connection and inclusion.

Our chefs are motivated to create enjoyable food experiences for all of our residents, particularly as their dietary requirements and preferences change.
