At what time is breakfast not to be served before, unless specifically requested?

Breakfast is typically not served before 7:00am in assisted living facilities unless there is a specific request from a resident. This guideline helps to maintain a structured routine for residents, ensuring that meal times are consistent and align with the typical patterns of waking and daily activities.

Serving breakfast at or after 7:00am allows for adequate sleep for residents, who may have varying sleep schedules. Setting this time standard supports the residents' well-being by allowing them to wake up naturally without feeling rushed or having meal services invade their rest. In an assisted living environment, where many residents may be older and have specific health considerations, a later breakfast time can be more accommodating to their needs.
