All our meals are cooked on site. Breakfast is served in bed every morning.

Dinner is a light meal, maybe soup and toast or scrabbled eggs. We have a dining room with tables for four and we encourage all residents to come together for meals, but meals will be served in the residents rooms if prefered. Family members are welcome to eat with us for meals to allow them to spend more time visiting.
We are proud of the fact we also provide a Meals On Wheels service for Waimate residents.
