Personalised Dining at Monash Heart Private

At Monash Heart Private (MHP), we understand that a hospital stay can bring about a mix of emotions and uncertainties. Knowing what to expect with meals can help ease some of those anxieties, allowing you and your loved ones to feel more in control and focused on the journey to recovery. Our goal is to ensure that your dining experience at MHP is as comfortable, personalised, and enjoyable as possible, offering the highest standards in hospital dining.

What to Expect from Meals at Monash Heart Private

We’re committed to providing you with an exceptional dining experience, offering an extensive menu with a variety of meal options crafted to meet your nutritional needs. Each dish has been developed in consultation with expert dietitians, ensuring it meets Victorian Nutrition Guidelines and provides the necessary nutrients to support your recovery.

Meals are designed with a balance of protein (such as meat, chicken, or fish) and carbohydrates (like rice, pasta, or vegetables) to promote both health and satisfaction. You can look forward to food that is not only nutritious but also thoughtfully prepared to look, smell, and taste delicious.

Dietary Preferences, Food Intolerances, and Allergies

To ensure that every patient feels comfortable and well-cared for, we have tailored options to meet a wide variety of dietary needs. Upon admission, you will receive a diet code that guides our meal offerings to show only choices that fit your specific dietary needs, including any intolerances or allergies.

If you have particular preferences or additional dietary requests—like high-fibre options—please feel free to speak with one of our Menu Monitors. They are here to personalise your experience and accommodate requests to make your meals as enjoyable as possible.

Flexible Meal Ordering Options

We believe that ordering meals should be straightforward and convenient. At MHP, you have the flexibility to order for your entire stay or select meals on a day-to-day basis. Here are the ways to order:

1. In-Room Patient Entertainment System (PES): Use the remote control to select your meal options directly from the in-room TV.
2. QR Code Access: Scan the QR code provided to access the menu and order directly from your smartphone.
3. Menu Monitors: Our Menu Monitors conduct rounds twice a day, offering in-person support to discuss meal choices and take special requests. If you need assistance outside of these rounds, they’re available to assist and answer any questions. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a contact card with your Menu Monitors’ information.

Our dishes are thoughtfully plated and prepared, providing a comforting, premium dining experience designed to exceed expectations.

We hope this information has provided reassurance about the care, quality, and variety of meals you can expect during your stay. Our team is dedicated to creating a dining experience that complements your journey to recovery in the best way possible.
