Sunny Vista utilizes enhanced dining in a program called “Open Dining”. (Sometimes referred to as “Meals My Way” or “Sunny Vista Anytime Menu”) From seven am until seven pm, residents may eat at the time they choose without being required to eat during a set time like most traditional care centers. Our residents are also able to choose what they would like to eat which is again atypical of most long term care facilities.

For breakfast lunch and dinner we have one Chef Special per meal served during set times. (7:30am-9:00am breakfast, 11:00am-1:00pm lunch, 4:30pm-6:00pm dinner) Residents are not, however, required to come to the dining room during these times; they can order off the open dining menu at any point in time while the kitchen is open and eat in either their bedroom or in the dining room.

Our Open Dining menu consists of the following:

• Burgers (cheese, plain, or veggie)
• Fried Fish
• Turkey Hot Dog
• Cheese Omelet with Ham or Turkey
• Eggs to Order
• Scrambled/Fried Egg Whites
• Chef Salad
• Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich
• Turkey Melt Sandwich
• Cold Deli Sandwich
• Cottage Cheese Fruit Plate
• Seasoned French Fries
• Steamed Vegetables
