At Your Request

At Your Request Dining is our room service dining with a traditional restaurant approach to meal preparation and delivery. We provide the freshest possible meals to our patients when he or she desires.

We allow patients and family to order a patient's meals for them in advance and have templates that they can fill out for weeks worth rotations so they can be at ease knowing they are getting what they enjoy.

Guest Trays

Guest trays are available for any family member/friends visiting. The cost of each meal is $7.00.  Call the AYR office to order, and the meal will be delivered to the room within 45 minutes of placing your order, or set up a specific time for delivery.
