In-room Patient Dining
SMH-Sarasota patients have a number of fresh meal options to choose from, making it easy to find meals that suit their personal tastes and diets. Posted on the bedside in each room, patients will find a restaurant-style menu developed by the hospital's executive chef. For patients with special dietary needs, these menus also will include diet-specific menu inserts (heart-healthy, pediatrics, plant-based, etc.).
Room Service — Patients who can order meals without assistance (Mother-Baby, Pediatrics, Orthopedics, etc.) may call in orders for Room Service. These patients can choose fresh, made-to-order meals from the bedside menu anytime from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. by selecting “option 1” on their in-room phone. Breakfast options are available all day. Offsite family members also can place meal orders for hospitalized loved ones from outside the hospital by calling 941-262-3663.
Fresh to You Service — Our Fresh to You meal service is designed for patients on higher-acuity units who may need assistance ordering meals. Nutrition attendants will take patients’ meal orders, ensuring the choices meet dietary requirements. These patients may choose from daily specials or one of the options on the bedside menu.
In-room Dining for Patient Guests — Patient visitors may order their own meal tray for $8.99. The guest meal tray will be delivered along with the patient’s meal, so that the guest doesn’t have to leave the bedside. To order an in-room guest meal, call 941-262-3663.
