FAQs:
Q: What happens if I am admitted after the cut-off time for ordering a meal?
A: Patients arriving after the cut-off for lunch or dinner will receive a boxed lunch with a turkey or ham sandwich, chips, yogurt or pudding, and a beverage.
Q: Will you provide a meal tray to my spouse or support person?
A: No, however the Bassett ACH Dining Facility is open Monday through Friday. For the most up-to-date hours, check out our
Dining Facility information. Additionally, significant others may also order a meal off the inpatient menu for $7.00 for breakfast, and $10.00 for lunch/dinner. If ordered, the meal will be delivered to the requesting room. To purchase this meal, please coordinate with the diet technician or pay in advance in the DFAC during operating hours. There are microwaves and refrigerators on the units. Please note that once food has entered a patient room it cannot be returned to the refrigerator.
Q: Can I have food delivered to me or brought to me by my spouse/significant other?
A: Yes, but the patient must meet certain criteria such as not having diet restrictions that can't be met from outside food. If a patient meets criteria, then family members/friends/significant others may bring outside food in for a patient. Please note, food brought in from the outside CAN NOT be stored in the refrigerator on the ward due to cross contamination concerns -- if food/beverages need to be kept cool we encourage you to bring your own cooler. Additionally, the
Bassett ACH Dining Facility is open Monday through Friday.
