Lola’s Diner
Lola’s Diner is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to serve our residents, visitors and staff. There is no cost to our residents but there is to visitors and staff. Lola’s has a special every day or you may order off the limited menu. Residents are encouraged to follow their diet restrictions.
Snacks
Your family and friends may bring you snacks or meals. Notify the nurse on the unit, this is to make sure that the food is allowed on a special diet and to make the appropriate adjustments in your meal service for that meal. Each unit has a small refrigerator where snacks can be stored for you. Ask the nurse to date and label your snacks or beverages. She will also see that you receive your snacks. Many residents like a cookie or candy during the medication pass if it does not interfere with the drugs the doctor has prescribed. If food is brought in from outside, it must be consumed at that time as the food code does not allow us to reheat or store foods prepared from an outside source.
Food Service For Visitors
Visitors may go to the Lola’s Diner or order a meal tray from the kitchen for a small charge.
Eating Out
Many of our residents eat out for special events such as birthdays and family parties. This is encouraged, as long you have permission from his/her doctor. Let the nurse know what time you plan to leave so that you can be dressed and ready to go. It will be necessary to give two to three days notice if you will be gone during a medication pass so that we can contact the pharmacy and have your medications pre-packaged for your leave. Your meal service must be cancelled for that time. Let your nurse know when you’ve returned so meal service can be started up again.
