The services, facilities and features of Oak Tree Manor

 

“I moved my Mother to Oak Tree and I have not regretted it for a moment.  Not only is my Mom saving a lot of money, she is living in a beautiful new facility with a stunning view of downtown Nanaimo and the harbour.  The food has consistently been superb.”

 Food and Dietary

At Oak Tree Manor residents enjoy unparalleled dining prepared and served by our highly trained staff. We focus on bringing a wide variety of menu choices tailored to the preferences of our residents. Residents can also order choices not on the menu and are always welcome to order seconds and thirds.

 

Our residents participate in creating our menus; suggesting new ideas and providing feedback on existing choices. They can expect traditional menus plus the opportunity to experience new specialties on a regular basis. Occasionally our chefs will let their creative flair loose and create theme nights featuring foods and customs of other nationalities and cultures by offering experiences such as Italian Cafe, Hawaiian Luau and Greek Taverna evenings. Our residents will always find a variety of menu items to suit their taste.

We work to ensure that special dietary needs for each of our residents are met. All our foods are prepared from scratch with a minimum amount of salt and sugar-free desserts are offered at every meal. Residents dine with us knowing that their nutritional requirements will be met each day in a menu designed to be healthy, delicious and full of choices.

 

All of our meals are served restaurant-style so residents have the opportunity to socialize with friends in our gracious surroundings. We invite you to visit Oak Tree Manor for a lunch and a tour so you can see for yourself how we surpass expectations in every category.
