We plan our meals and menus based on our clients’ preferences, nutritional recommendations and special needs. In our meals, we pay particular attention to tastiness and texture, sufficient energy and protein intake and the number of meal events.
Based on orders placed by the nursing staff, we provide our clients with five tasty meals daily:
- breakfast
- lunch
- afternoon coffee/snack
- dinner
- bedtime snack
Most of the ingredients we use in our meals are of Finnish origin, and we take the seasons and public holidays into account. In addition to the tastiness and healthiness of food, we place particular emphasis on the safety of our clients. Our recipes have been tested in our own product development kitchen and we prepare our meals ourselves.
Our residents take their meals in their respective buildings, either at wards, in our restaurants or in groups. Almost all of our lunch restaurants and cafés in the care sector locations are also open to visitors.
Special diets
We agree on diets and the principles for implementing them together with experts from the Social Services and Health Care and Rescue Services Division of Helsinki.
- We provide special diets needed due to health reasons, such as a gluten-free diet.
- We serve texture-modified meals, for example puréed food, to those who need it.
- We support the nutritional intake of clients that struggle with eating, for example, with a fortified diet.
