Dear families,
We need to be compliant with the Department of social development’s standard on “Food safety and Quality”; which states that “for the resident’s safety, we need to respect the safe temperature zones and prevent cross contamination with food coming from outside the nursing home”.
This means, we cannot keep food that came from outside the nursing home in the refrigerators in the kitchenettes of the nursing home.
In addition, no perishable food should be left in resident rooms as this could cause food poisoning for the resident.
Perishable food that families bring for a resident must be consumed immediately by the resident and cannot be placed in the refrigerator. If we find external foods in our refrigerators, we must throw them away (Government standard). Therefore, please bring only a portion of food for your resident and take the leftovers to your home or it will be wasted.
Please pass on this important notice to all family members.
Thank you for your collaboration on this matter.
Villa Providence team
