Meals:

Your meals are custom prepared in accordance with your nutritional and diet program which is planned by the hospital’s dietitian. Companions also have the right to eat the same meal.

Our personalized menu is specially designed to complement your treatment; as a result, we recommend that you avoid ordering food from sources outside the hospital. You and your companion’s meals are served in your room and subsequently empty trays are collected at your convenience. Mealtimes are written below, but if you request meals to be served at alternative times, you can notify your nurse.
  • Breakfast:  07:30 - 08:30
  • Lunch:  13:00 - 14:00
  • Dinner:  19:00 - 20:00

 
Try to stay in your room with your companion throughout your hospital stay. Your companion’s accommodation and meals are included in your room fee. Your companion’s bed is made up by floor services department after dinner is served. However, you may have the bed made up earlier if you wish. If you have no companion and your risk of falling is very high, you may wish to notify your nurse so extra precautions can be taken.
