DIETARY REQUIREMENTS:

It is essential to inform the staff and room service assistants of any allergies or special dietary requirements that you might have, so they can adjust your meal accordingly.

Masada Private Hospital St Kilda Meal Services

The catering department of the Masada Private Hospital St Kilda is a highlight. As a recovering patient, you will get a range of menus to choose from on daily basis (each morning).

Most importantly, both the cooks and the rest of the staff understand that you may have specific requirements (whether due to religious beliefs or designated diet) for which reason the department strives to offer diversified, healthy, and fresh produce to its patients. However, keep in mind that it is available solely for those that are staying at the hospital and that for now, Masada doesn’t offer food to visitors.

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS:

As mentioned above, in case you need any assistance when it comes to getting your meal, or there are special requests that you have to make sure to let the staff know. The team of nurses is available to help you at any point during day, after all, that is what the call button is for.

BRINGING MEALS TO MASADA PRIVATE HOSPITAL ST KILDA:

Unlike some other private hospitals, the Masada St Kilda doesn’t allow family members and friends to bring in prepared meals. This is mostly due to the fact that they want to risk that the patient gets food poisoning or ingests ingredients/food that they are allergic to. On the other hand, as long as you announce it, you can bring in fresh fruit, soft drinks, and commercial produce such as potato chips, etc.

While nutritious meals are necessary for a successful recovery, it is recommended that your first few post-surgery meals are lighter.

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS:

It is essential to communicate if you have certain dietary restrictions or you can’t eat specific food because of your religious beliefs. Providing the staff and the chef with your feedback is important for further improvements as well as letting them know if you need any kind of assistance regarding your eating schedule.

BRINGING MEALS TO GLENFERRIE PRIVATE HOSPITAL:

If you are a friend or a family member of the patient and you want to supplement their diet you should inform the staff so they can respond accordingly. They will provide you with a list of the food that is allowed and that isn’t recommended for someone who is having their stay at the hospital. In addition, you should know that alcohol consumption can be allowed only on special requests and in limited doses. Furthermore, the food that you bring to the hospital will be thoroughly checked to ensure that there aren’t any poisoning risks (due to expiry date, or bad packaging) and to ensure that the patient isn’t allergic to the food that you are bringing them.

FOOD FOR VISITORS:

The chef is available to prepare a few meals for the visitors on request. Another great thing about the Glenferrie Private Hospital is that the staff strives to provide dishes that are fresh, tasty, and most importantly low cost.

THE QUEST

What to look for in a Hospital For Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic Surgery

When you are looking at getting surgery there are several things to look for when it comes to the hospital and what they provide.

  • Firstly, is it an Accredited Hospital with a reputation for Service, Safety and Security?
  • Secondly, look for a Boutique sized Hospital. In other words, not too big not too small.
  • Thirdly, are the caring staff and nurses friendly?
  • Are the Facilities and rooms nice, and can you have a single room?
  • Is the Food and Refreshments available healthy and nutritious. This is important for optimal recovery.
  • And, lastly what are the in-room Entertainment options and WiFi
