Premium Lifestyle Choice - Fine Food
Our Premium Lifestyle Choice clients enjoy the finest dining experience in aged care with a wide range of main meals, snack meals and beverage options at times of their choosing.
The enjoyment and experience of meals is enhanced by the aroma of the food being prepared and served on-site with added touches such as quality china, glassware, linen and cutlery. Most importantly, though, the meals and quality of service never disappoints.

Clients' preferences for meal services are sought and acted upon and a range of options are available for clients with restricted ability to eat some foods.
In addition, the experience of every day dining at Shalom is improved by the little things we've put in place and planned for, such as:
All meals at Shalom are prepared by our onsite chef
Meals are served over a 1.5 hour period which gives the client more flexible meal time choices
Clients are consulted on their preferred meal and beverage choices, dining options and timing of meals on or before arrival to the facility
The chef will be available to talk to clients individually about their food preferences
To enhance community and enjoy socialising, clients will be encouraged to go to the dining room for meals, but provision will be made for tray service to rooms if requested and other dining areas may be booked for special occasions
Other enhanced dining options are available throughout the course of the year, including:
Happy hour
Wine and cheese evenings
Alfresco Dining - dining outdoors on either the upstairs balcony or in the garden area
Candlelight dinners with family and friends
BBQ's and special occasions meals
In addition to these services the Baptista café is located just to the side of the main foyer for clients and families of BaptistCare to enjoy. The café is adjacent to an activity area, the hairdresser's salon and opens out into a central garden.
