Nutrition

Food is part of health, comfort, culture and social life. We treat nutrition and hydration as individual rather than one-size-fits-all.

Food is cooked from scratch with an emphasis on local ingredients, varied menus and individual preferences. Dietary requirements and texture-modified meals are considered as part of each resident’s care plan.

When you visit, ask how the team adapts this part of daily life for someone whose mobility, appetite, cognition or confidence changes. The strongest answer will usually be specific to the individual rather than a fixed house routine.

What to look for on a visit

• Choice and flexibility rather than rigid routines
• Spaces that feel lived-in, comfortable and accessible
• Staff who know residents’ preferences
• Evidence of family and community connection
• Clear support when needs or abilities change
