eat anytime

[Gerianne]

many senior facilities offer dining room hours that are open throughout the day.
"continuous dining"
the resident can eat a  light meal if they like.
they can choose their main meal at noon [European style] or in the evening[American style].

I eat mini meals rather large ones

I didn't know that, but I wouldn't because I am not there.  But when my husband Aunt was there they ate at certain times, but things are changing.

I learned there are extreme senior living I really want to live at one. People at 55 can live there and go to work too.

I eat basically when I feel like, no standards...

Both my sons work at Assisted Living facilites (different ones) they are strict about when folks can come into the dining area to eat and I kinda think it stinks.  Those places are not cheap but they kind of act like they are doing the seniors a "favor".

I eat mainly when I'm hungry. I try to eat small amounts and spread them out.

Sounds like a college dorm...  or a cruise ship

I try to eat 6 small meals a day about every 3 hours.

I also eat several small meals durning the day amd light snacks in the evening and nothing a few hours before bedtime

I eat when I am hungry but only in small meals

If I ever wind up in a senior's facility I certainly couldn't eat all hours of the day, though I am glad these places offer such a commodity since everyone is different.  I personally get sick to my stomach and will just throw up if I eat too early or too late.  I basically am a 10am-7:30pm person.  Any food before or after those hours and I'm done.  Doesn't matter what it is, even a fortune cookie can make me vomit, how well it's cooked, I'm going to throw it up.  My stomach just won't take food all hours of the day and night.

That's a nice feature and one I'd enjoy if I were there. My stomach seems happier when I nibble throughout the day rather than sit down for huge meals.
