Food & Nutrition
Our meals are prepared on site daily using a variety of meats, fish, fruit and vegetables purchased from local suppliers. Homemade cakes and puddings are a favourite with our folks with lunch or supper and a cup of tea. Hot and cold beverages are served throughout the day at the residents request to include tea, coffee, hot chocolate, Horlicks or herbal tea.
Assessments are carried out with the residents to identify their likes and dislikes which is recorded in the kitchen menu file. We are able to cater for a variety of diets to include diabetics, celiac and vegetarians. For those residents having difficulties eating their meals the food can be specially prepared to ensure a good nutritional intake and safety when eating.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be taken in the dinning room or in the residents room.
