Spring/Summer Menu

We are pleased to announce the launch of our updated Spring/Summer Perley-wide menu, effective today. This menu has been developed based on valuable feedback from our Food Committee.

Key enhancements include two protein selections offered at both lunch and supper, each served with accompanying sides and a dessert. In addition, a consistent list of always-available items will be offered at all mealtimes.

This change aligns with our commitment to increase the availability of homemade dishes and incorporating fresh, seasonal produce into our meal offerings. Furthermore, we continue to pursue Canadian-made products for our community.

We extend our thanks to all those who contributed feedback to this menu's creation. Your input is essential in the ongoing development of our services, including menus for holidays, special events, and regular updates.

This message will be shared today with all email subscribers, posted to the Perley Health website and excerpts will appear on TVs in the common areas.

Sincerely, The Food & Nutrition Team

Alanah Hazelwood, RD, NM 

Manager, Food and Nutrition/Housekeeping
