To further compliment the Eden Alternative philosophy, Hillcrest Manor has transitioned from the standard 3 meal pattern to the “Everyday is a Holiday” concept. This has resulted in five meals being offered throughout the day, rather than three meals typical in long-term care facilities. In addition, diets are liberalized with minimal restriction, rather than the strict therapeutic diets historically used.

The American Dietetic Association fully supports these changes occurring at Hillcrest Manor. The appetite of an elder is often diminished, and three large meals per day can be overwhelming. Frequent meals are better suited to maximize caloric intake.

Breakfast will be available at 7:45am to 9:30am and dinner is served at 4:00 pm and all elders will be taken to their respective dining areas to enjoy these two main meals.

Lunch and snacks are offered at 12:30pm and at 7:30pm and consist of high calorie/protein options from which to choose. Note that this meal pattern is especially appropriate for the diabetic elder, allowing for carbohydrate intake to be dispersed throughout the day, aiding in blood glucose normalization.

Tea Time is offered at noon and Social Hours is offered at 7:30pm.


In regards to liberalization of Therapeutic diets this concept is fully supported by the American Dietetic Association for the following reasons:

• Enhanced calorie and nutrient intake
• Improved appearance and flavor of food
• Improvement in ability to maintain acceptable weight
• Happy, healthy and satisfied elders
